Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography for early prediction of response of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer

Abstract

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is widely accepted as a primary treatment for inoperable or locally advanced breast cancer before definitive surgery. However, not all advanced breast cancers are sensitive to NAC. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) has been considered to assess tumor response to NAC as it can effectively reflect the condition of blood perfusion and lesion size. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of CEUS to predict early response in different regions of interest in breast tumors under NAC treatment. This prospective study included 82 patients with advanced breast cancer. Parameters of TIC (time-intensive curve) between baseline and after the first cycle of NAC were calculated for the rate of relative change (Δ), including Δpeak, ΔTTP (time to peak), ΔRBV (regional blood volume), ΔRBF (regional blood flow) and ΔMTT (mean transit time). The responders and non-responders were distinguished by the Miller-Payne Grading (MPG) system and parameters from different regions of tumors were compared in these two groups. For ROI 1(the greatest enhancement area in the central region of the tumor), there were significant differences in Δpeak1, ΔRBV1 and ΔRBF1 between responders and non-responders. For ROI 2 (the greatest enhancement area on edge of the tumor), there were significant differences in Δpeak2 and ΔRBF2 between the groups. The Δpeak1 and ΔRBF2 showed good prediction (AUC 0.798-0.820, p ≤ 0.02) after the first cycle of NAC. When the cut-off value was 0.115, the ΔRBF2 had the highest diagnostic accuracy and the maximum NPV. Quantitative TIC parameters could be effectively used to evaluate early response to NAC in advanced breast cancer.
