概要 OBJECTIVES:To evaluate whether multiparametric breast-MRI, obtained before the initiation of neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) for operable breast cancer, predicts which cancer will achieve a pathological complete response (pCR) after the completion of NST.METHODS:This was an IRB-approved retrospective study on 31 consecutive patients (median age, 56 years) with operable invasive breast cancer (median size: 22 mm; triple-negative: 11/31 [35%], HER2-positive: 7/31 [23%], triple-positive: 13/31 [42%]) who underwent multiparametric DCE-MRI before the initiation of NST. The MRI protocol consisted of high-resolution dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI), T2-TSE, and DWI (b-values 0, 100, 800 s/mm2). The results of surgical pathology after the completion of NST served as a standard of reference. Patient characteristics (age and menopausal status), pathological tumor characteristics (type, stage, nuclear grade, ER/PR and HER2 receptor status, and Ki-67 staining), and MRI characteristics (size, morphology, T2 signal intensity, enhancement kinetics, and ADC values) before NST were evaluated and compared between patients achieving pCR vs. non-pCR.RESULTS:Among 31 patients, 17 achieved pCR (55%) and 14 non-pCR (45%). No correlation was observed between patient- or tumor pathology-derived characteristics and pCR vs. non-pCR. Among MRI-derived tumor characteristics, tumor growth orientation parallel to Cooper's ligaments (p = 0.002) and wash-out rates (p = 0.019) correlated with pCR. Pre-NST ADC values were lower in patients achieving pCR (P = 0.086).CONCLUSIONS:A tumor growth pattern parallel with Cooper's ligaments and a fast wash-out rate on pre-treatment multiparametric MRI are predictive of pCR and more closely associated with pCR than ADC values.
