Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the performance of MRI in predicting pathological response of different breast cancer subtypes after neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC).Methods The MRI images and postoperative pathological results of 91 patients with breast cancer after NAC were analyzed retrospectively.The correlation between the imaging features of different molecular subtypes of breast cancer and postoperative pathological results was studied,and the diagnostic performance of MRI in predicting pathological response after NAC was evaluated,with postoperative pathological results referred as the diagnostic standard.Results Of 91 patients,27(29.7%)and 35(38.5%)cases were diagnosed as imaging complete response(iCR)and pathological complete response(pCR),respectively.The accuracy of MRI in predicting pathological response after NAC was 84.62%,with 94.64%sensitivity,68.57%specificity,and positive predictive value(PPV)and negative predictive value(NPV)of 82.81%and 88.89%,respectively.Conclusion MRI can accurately predict the pathological response of the human epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER-2)+and triple-negative breast cancer after NAC.
