Prediction of neoadjuvant chemotherapy pathological complete response for breast cancer based on radiomics nomogram of intratumoral and derived tissue

Abstract Background Non-invasive identification of breast cancer (BCa) patients with pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is critical to determine appropriate surgical strategies and guide the resection range of tumor. This study aimed to examine the effectivene...

description Abstract Background Non-invasive identification of breast cancer (BCa) patients with pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is critical to determine appropriate surgical strategies and guide the resection range of tumor. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a nomogram created by combining radiomics signatures from both intratumoral and derived tissues with clinical characteristics for predicting pCR after NACT. Methods The clinical data of 133 BCa patients were analyzed retrospectively and divided into training and validation sets. The radiomics features for Intratumoral, peritumoral, and background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) in the training set were dimensionalized. Logistic regression analysis was used to select the optimal feature set, and a radiomics signature was constructed using a decision tree. The signature was combined with clinical features to build joint models and generate nomograms. The area under curve (AUC) value of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was then used to assess the performance of the nomogram and independent predictors. Results Among single region, intratumoral had the best predictive value. The diagnostic performance of the intratumoral improved after adding the BPE features. The AUC values of the radiomics signature were 0.822 and 0.82 in the training and validation sets. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age, ER, PR, Ki-67, and radiomics signature were independent predictors of pCR in constructing a nomogram. The AUC of the nomogram in the training and validation sets were 0.947 and 0.933. The DeLong test showed that the nomogram had statistically significant differences compared to other independent predictors in both the training and validation sets (P < 0.05). Conclusion BPE has value in predicting the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, thereby revealing the potential impact of tumor growth environment on the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
