Abstract P1-01-02: Early changes in diffuse optical tomography predicts pathologic complete response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer
Abstract:Background: Optical based imaging modalities have shown promise for monitoring tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with breast cancer (BC). Patients with triple negative BC (TNBC) who achieve a pathologic complete response (pCR) have improved disease free and overall survival after NAC. In this study, we evaluated whether early changes in diffuse optical tomography breast imaging system (DOTBIS) parameters can predict a pCR. In particular, we studied total hemoglobin concentration (ctH… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
