Article Synopsis
- Multiple studies have indicated that high contralateral parenchymal enhancement (CPE) in breast MRI may improve long-term survival rates for patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, but more research is needed due to inconsistent findings.
- This study aimed to validate the connection between CPE and long-term survival using a large group of women with specific breast cancer characteristics, examining overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and distant RFS (DRFS).
- Results showed that higher CPE was linked to better OS rates after 10 years, but it didn't significantly impact RFS or DRFS; additionally, the effect of endocrine therapy in relation to CPE couldn't be determined accurately.
Background: While several methods have been proposed for automated assessment of breast-cancer response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy on breast MRI, limited information is available about their performance across multiple institutions.
Purpose: To assess the value and robustness of deep learning-derived volumes of locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) on MRI to infer the presence of residual disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Study Type: Retrospective.
