This abstract presents the work of combining different MR measures to predict primary tumor residual after patients with breast cancer went through neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Three types of MR measures are investigated in this study: longest diameter, functional tumor volume, and apparent diffusion coefficient. Results showed that when all three types of MR measures are combined in the logistic regression model, it yielded the highest AUC compared to the model with only one of the MR measures. Results also suggested that measures taken at various treatment time points, not just pre-surgery, should be included in the prediction of the residual disease.
