The aim of this study was to detect a response difference in primary (PLC) and secondary liver tumors (SLC) with magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) after TACE therapy. Thirty-one patients (25/31 male; mean age 69.6Â years [range: 39"“85Â years]) with repeated TACE therapy of HCC were compared with twenty-seven patients (27/27 female; mean age 61.2Â years [range 39"“81Â years]) with repeated TACE therapy of metastatic liver disease due to breast cancer. Both groups underwent either one (n"‰="‰31) or two (n"‰="‰27) repetitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MRE exams in 4- to 6-week intervals using a 1.5-T-scanner. MRE-based liver stiffness and size measurements were evaluated in tumorous lesions and in healthy liver lobe controls. PLC showed a significantly larger tumor size compared to SLC (26.4 cm2 vs. 11 cm2, p"‰="‰0.007) and a higher degree of stiffness (5.8Â kPa vs. 5.1Â kPa, p"‰="‰0.04). Both tumors decreased in size during the cycles (PLC: p"‰="‰0.8 and SLC: p"‰<"‰0.0001) and lesions showed an increase in stiffness (PLC: p"‰="‰0.002 and SLC: p"‰="‰0.006). MRE demonstrates that PLC and SLC have similar responses to TACE therapy. PLC had a greater increase in stiffness and SLC got smaller. An increasing stiffness and decrease in size could show a good response.
