This study investigated the prediction of pathological complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer using radiomics features derived from pre-treatment DCE-MRI. 121 women with biopsy-confirmed breast cancers (44 pCR and 77 non-pCR) were imaged before treatment. 384 radiomics features were extracted from 5 post-contrast images. A logistic regression model trained on 21 of these features was able to predict pCR with an AUC of 0.78. The highest AUC (0.85) was achieved by using 7 features from only the 3rd post-contrast time point. Clinical and pathological features should be included to improve the accuracy of prediction.
