In multivariate regression analysis using the 10th percentile ADC value, kurtosis, tumor size, age and Ki-67 status, we found that the 10th percentile ADC value, kurtosis and Ki-67 were significant independent variables associated with TIL levels (P = 0.012, P = 0.046 and P = 0.007, respectively). Here, MKI67 is linked to neoplasm.
