This study attempted to investigate if the change of
biomarker status after adjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) will
affect MR accuracy in evaluation of residual tumor size.
59 breast cancer patients who received NAC and had
residual tumor size in MRI and pathology and pre- and
post-NAC biomarker information were analyzed. Our study
noted biomarker conversion following NAC did not impact
accuracy of MRI in determining residual tumor size in
Her-2 negative and PR positive breast cancer. In Her-2
positive cancer, when converted into Her-2 negative
cancer, the MR-pathology tumor size difference was
remarkably higher than Her-2 positive cancer without
biomarker conversion.
