Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Predicting Pathological Response After the First Cycle of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer

摘要

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine whether multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) and diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI), obtained before and after the first cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), is superior to single-parameter measurements for predicting pathologic complete response (pCR) in patients with breast cancer.
