Efficacy of Mammographic Artificial Intelligence-Based Computer-Aided Detection in Predicting Pathologic Complete Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

This study evaluates the potential of an AI-based computer-aided detection (AI-CAD) system in digital mammography for predicting pathologic complete response (pCR) in breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). A retrospective analysis of 132 patients who underwent NAC and surgery b...

description This study evaluates the potential of an AI-based computer-aided detection (AI-CAD) system in digital mammography for predicting pathologic complete response (pCR) in breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). A retrospective analysis of 132 patients who underwent NAC and surgery between January 2020 and December 2022 was performed. Pre- and post-NAC mammograms were analyzed using conventional CAD and AI-CAD systems, with negative exams defined by the absence of marked abnormalities. Two radiologists reviewed mammography, ultrasound, MRI, and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). Concordance rates between CAD and AI-CAD were calculated, and the diagnostic performance, including the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC), was assessed. The pre-NAC concordance rates were 90.9% for CAD and 97% for AI-CAD, while post-NAC rates were 88.6% for CAD and 89.4% for AI-CAD. The MRI had the highest diagnostic performance for pCR prediction, with AI-CAD performing comparably to other modalities. Univariate analysis identified significant predictors of pCR, including AI-CAD, mammography, ultrasound, MRI, histologic grade, ER, PR, HER2, and Ki-67. In multivariable analysis, negative MRI, histologic grade 3, and HER2 positivity remained significant predictors. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that AI-CAD in digital mammography shows the potential to examine the pCR of breast cancer patients following NAC.
