Predictive efficiency of a model of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer based on parameters of shear wave elastography and superb microvascular imaging
Objebtive:To explore the predictive efficiency of the model of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer based on shear wave elastography(SWE)and superb microvascular imaging(SMI)parameters.Methods:A total of 160 patients with breast cancer were collected and divided into the training cohort(120 cases)and the validation cohort(40 cases).After neoadjuvant chemotherapy,the patients were divided into the pathological complete remission(pCR)group and non-pCR group according to the effect of chemotherapy.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed on the related factors,and a nomogram risk model was constructed and verified.Results:Univariate analysis showed that ER,PR,HER-2,internal echo,calcification,edge burr,the maximum diameter,PSV,RI,SWVr and Adler grade of blood flow were significantly different between the two groups(all P<0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that ER,PR,HER-2,PSV and SWVr were independent factors affecting the occurrence of non-pCR(all P<0.05).The AUCs of the clinical model,the imaging features model and the combined model of the training cohort were 0.770(95%CI 0.681~0.858),0.960(95%CI 0.915~1.000)and 0.969(95%CI 0.926~1.000),the sensitivities were 81.10%,93.20%and 94.60%,and the specificities were 65.20%,91.30%and 93.50%.The AUCs of the clinical model,the imaging features model and the combined model of the validation cohort were 0.745(95%CI 0.634~0.855),0.980(95%CI 0.947~1.000)and 0.948(95%CI 0.871~1.000),the sensitivities were 82.20%,100.00%and 98.60%,and the specificities were 88.00%,85.20%and 88.00%.Conclusions:The occurrence of non-pCR in breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy is affected by ER,PR,HER-2,PSV and SWVr.According to the above factors,the predictive model has a good predictive efficiency.
