Advances on MRI radiomics in molecular typing of breast cancer
Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women,which seriously affects the physical and mental health of women.Molecular classification according to pathology,early identification of pathological clas-sification and targeted therapy play a decisive role in ameliorating prognosis of patients.Although pathology is the gold standard,there are some shortcomings,such as the invasiveness of operation,the limitation of sampling and the limitation of testing time.By deeply mining the multi-dimensional features of the image,radiomics quan-tifies the heterogeneity of the tumor,and uses a non-invasive and simple method to comprehensively evaluate the biological characteristics of the tumor,it has been widely used in the discovery of molecular classification of breast cancer,prediction of LNM,formulation of treatment plan,evaluation of treatment effect,prognosis of pa-tients and so on.In this paper,the application of molecular typing of breast cancer based on MRI radiomics characteristics is reviewed.
