Development and assessment of a novel core biopsy-based prediction model for pathological complete response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer
Abstract:Purpose
Pathological complete response (pCR), the goal of NAC, is considered a surrogate for favorable outcomes in breast cancer (BC) patients administrated neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). This study aimed to develop and assess a novel nomogram model for predicting the probability of pCR based on the core biopsy.
Methods
It was a retrospective study involving 769 BC patients administrated NAC between January 2012 and December 2017. After converting continuous variables to categorical variables, variables enter… Show more
