Early peritumoral edema change improve prediction of pathological complete response in breast cancer: a multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging-based model

Key Points

• Pathological complete response can be effectively predicted using early peritumoral edema changes.
• The model achieved an AUC of 0.899, reflecting high accuracy in predicting outcomes for breast cancer patients undergoing treatment.
• Analysis incorporates parameters like apparent diffusion coefficient and molecular subtype, enhancing predictive capability.
• This approach supports personalized treatment planning, emphasizing the importance of tailored clinical strategies.
