This study is a multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study to evaluate the predictive performance of pre-treatment DCE-MRI-based artificial intelligence (AI) models for neoadjuvant chemotherapy benefit in HR+/HER2- breast cancer. The study plans to enroll eligible HR+/HER2- breast cancer patients receiving routine standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy and stratify participants into high-benefit and low-benefit subgroups via the established AI model based on baseline breast DCE-MRI images.
All enrolled patients will undergo systematic collection of baseline clinical-pathological data, pre-treatment DCE-MRI scans, neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens, postoperative residual cancer burden (RCB) classification, objective response rate (ORR), and long-term survival endpoints including disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). The primary objective compares the rate of RCB 0-1 between AI-defined high-benefit patients and published historical control data; secondary analyses compare ORR, RCB 0-1 proportion, DFS and OS between AI-stratified high-benefit and low-benefit subgroups to comprehensively verify the clinical value of this imaging AI model for individualized neoadjuvant chemotherapy selection.
