We found that the pre-treatment
mean APT value was correlated to percentage change
of primary tumor size negatively in NPC. This
indicated the NPC pre-treatment APT value might be a useful features or
biomarker of the response in IC.

primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma in a 44-year-old woman (APTmean = 1.34%)
and a 26-year-old woman (APTmean = 2.64%).
