Registration Number
NCT04004559
Lead Sponsor
Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University
Brief Summary

This study is aimed to illustrate whether Radiomics combining multiparametric MRI before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) with clinical data is a good way to predict axillary lymph node metastasis and prognosis in invasive-breast-cancer.

Detailed Description

This study proposes to build a clinical predictive model to predict axillary lymph node metastasis and prognosis in invasive-breast-cancer patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery. The model is built based on breast MRI signatures extracted and analyzed via deep machine-learning algorithm methods. Invasive breast cancer patients undergo multiparametric MRI at baseline, then undergo multiparametric MRI after received neoadjuvant chemotherapy for at least 4 cycles as planned. After the surgery, responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy are determined according to the histopathologically examination of the surgically resected specimens. After completion of treatment procedure, patients are followed up for 5 years.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Disease free survival (DFS)5 years

The association between Radiomics of multiparametric MRI and disease free survival (DFS), which defined as the time from the diagnosis of breast cancer to the confirmed time of metastatic disease, or death due to any other cause.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
pathological complete response (pCR)Pathologic evaluation will be performed for each patient within 1 week after surgery

The value of Radiomics of breast MRI in predicting responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, including reaching pCR and not reaching pCR.

Overall survival (OS)5 years

The association between Radiomics of multiparametric MRI and overall survival (OS), which defined as the time from the beginning of diagnosis of breast cancer to the death with any causes.

Breast cancer specific motality (BCSM)5 years

Defined as time between randomization and the time of death occur specific due to breast cancer

Pathological axillary lymph node statusPathologic evaluation will be performed for each patient within 1 week after surgery

The value of Radiomics of breast MRI in predicting pathological axillary lymph node status is defined as axillary lymph node metastasis exists or not.

Recurrence free survival (RFS)5 years

Defined as time between randomization and the time of any recurrence of ipsilateral chest, breast, regional lymph node recurrence, distant metastases, or death occurred
