MRI model predicts treatment response in breast cancer patients
Radiomics scoring derived from contrast-enhanced MRI can predict treatment response in women being treated for triple-negative breast cancer.
September 3, 2024
Axial dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI scans show results from two women before they underwent neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer. (A) T1-enhanced MRI scan, (B) rate constant for contrast agent plasma-to-interstitial transfer (Ktrans) map, and (C) maximum contrast agent uptake rate (Slopemax) map in a 56-year-old woman depict a tumor that manifested as a spherical 4-cm mass enhancement (arrow in A) in the right breast with axillary node involvement (arrowhead in A). The radiomics score was high, at 3.3. Histopathologic examination after chemotherapy revealed no invasive residual cancer in the breast or the lymph nodes (pathologic complete response). (D) T1-enhanced MRI scan, (E) Ktrans map, and (F) Slopemax map in a 49-year-old woman show a tumor that manifested as a spiculated 3-cm mass enhancement (arrow in D) in the left breast with thickening of the skin (arrowhead in D). The parametric maps show much greater spatial heterogeneity than in the case shown in B and C, with areas of high intensity. The radiomics score was low, at −1.6. Histopathologic examination after chemotherapy revealed a 10-mm invasive residual cancer in the breast (not pathologic complete response). Image courtesy of the RSNA.
