Treatment monitoring is of importance for breast cancer patients receiving systemic therapy. Metabolic imaging methods such as CEST and 31P-MRS may have potential to predict treatment efficacy in an early stage of the treatment. In this study we assessed the amide proton transfer (APT) signal and the pH change in breast cancer patients before and after the first cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to explore the relation between APT and pH. We observed changes in both the APT signal and the pH between the two measurements. These changes may serve as biomarkers for predicting treatment response to NAC in an early stage.
