AI model predicts breast cancer response using longitudinal MRI scans

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new longitudinal framework that combines a frozen 3D foundation encoder, Pillar-0, with a Temporal Dynamics Network (TDN) to predict neoadjuvant chemotherapy response in breast cancer patients. This model analyzes serial Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced (DCE) MRI scans taken at four clinical timepoints, integrating this imaging data with clinical and treatment information. When evaluated on a cohort of 982 patients from the I-SPY2 and ACRIN-6698 trials, the framework achieved a test AUROC of 73.6% and a balanced accuracy of 69.1%, demonstrating that longitudinal 3D imaging provides valuable complementary information to clinical variables for predicting pathologic complete response (pCR). AI

IMPACT This model could improve treatment assessment for breast cancer patients by predicting response to chemotherapy from serial MRI scans.

    Longitudinal 3D Foundation Modeling for Neoadjuvant Breast Cancer Response Prediction from Serial DCE-MRI

    arXiv:2608.09991v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pathologic complete response (pCR) is an important endpoint in neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for breast cancer, and predicting pCR from imaging during treatment could support treatment response assessment. Many existing imaging-b…
