Motivation: No imaging biomarkers are currently available for predicting response to neoadjuvant systemic treatment (NAST) in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), contributing to toxicity to patients from ineffective treatment regimens.
Goal(s): To evaluate if quantitative analyses of breast parenchyma can serve as noninvasive biomarker of treatment response in TNBC.
Approach: Mean background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) and radiomic features of fibroglandular tissue from longitudinal DCE-MRI were evaluated using AUC analysis on a prospective cohort of 273 TNBC patients.
Results: Four first order radiomic features were predictive of pCR with AUC>0.6. Multivariable radiomic models and BPE changes had AUC<0.6 for pCR prediction in TNBC undergoing NAST.
Impact: Radiomic features from fibroglandular tissue and background parenchymal enhancement changes in ipsilateral and contralateral breasts using DCE MRI during treatment of triple-negative breast cancer patients were evaluated as noninvasive biomarkers for prediction of pathologic complete response to neoadjuvant systemic therapy.
