Investigating the optimal timing for the ultrasound prediction of a pathologic complete response in neoadjuvant breast cancer treatment
Early cycle ultrasound assessments, particularly those that used the MSM, have strong predictive value for the pCR. Integrating a tumor shrinkage-based probability analysis enhances the predictive accuracy of the models. These findings support the use of early ultrasound evaluation in clinical practice to optimize NAT strategies and patient outcomes.
