Abstract:
Objective To investigate the value of ultrasound-guided diffuse optical tomography (US-guided DOT) to predict clinical efficacy of breast cancer neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).Methods Eighty-eight breast cancer patients with 93 lesions were included.Pre-and post-last chemotherapy,the size,total hemoglobin concentration (THC) of each lesion were measured by ultrasonography (US) and US-guided DOT.Based on the guidelines to evaluate the response to treatment in solid tumors,the lesions of treated breast cancer patients were divided into 4 types of responses to NAC:complete response (CR),partial response (PR),stable disease (SD),and progressive disease (PD).Efficient groups include CR and PR groups.Results As expected,no significant difference was found in size and THC for untreated lesions (all P ＞0.05).However,for the treated lesions(P =0.001),THC,pre-vs post-treatment size changes (△Size％) (P =0.002) and THC changes (△THC％) (P ＜0.001) were significantly varied among CR,PR,SD,PD groups.When compared with pre-treated,tumor sizes after treatment were changed significantly in all CR(P ＜0.001),PR(P ＜0.001),SD (P =0.023) and PD (P =0.001),while significant change of THC was only found in CR(P ＜0.001),PR(P ＜0.001) and SD (P =0.002).When △THC％ =23.9％ as the threshold for prediction of NAC efficiency,the area under the curve of ROC was 0.75,and the sensitivity was 73.7％,specificity was 76.5 ％,positive predictive value was 93.3 ％,negative predictive value was 39.4％,accuracy was 74.2％.Conclusions △size％ changes in consistent with △THC％ among the intergroups,but their changes levels are different,the highest change percent appears in CR,gradually decreased in PR,SD groups.△THC％ will contribute to predict preoperative clinical NAC efficacy.
