Deep Learning with DCE-MRI Boosts Breast Cancer Chemo Response Prediction

AuntMinnieIndustry

A deep-learning model combining radiomics and clinicopathologic data with breast DCE-MRI improves prediction of complete pathological response after chemotherapy.

Key Details

  • 1Study led by Chaowei Wu, PhD, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
  • 2Model integrates clinicopathologic data, shape radiomics, and retrospective pharmacokinetic quantification radiomics.
  • 3Included MRI data from 1,073 breast cancer patients (2002–2016).
  • 4Model achieved higher AUCs (up to 0.82 on external datasets) vs. conventional methods.
  • 5Reported accuracy 69%, sensitivity 95%, specificity 59%.
  • 6Early pCR prediction aids personalized treatment planning.

Why It Matters

Improved prediction of chemotherapy response using AI-driven analysis of DCE-MRI could enable more personalized and effective treatment strategies in breast cancer, potentially improving outcomes. The results show better accuracy and generalizability than existing methods across multiple datasets.
