[PMID: 39248049 PMCID: PMC11381954 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.70146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 08/12/2024] [Accepted: 08/14/2024] [Indexed: 09/10/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to identify ultrasound and clinicopathological characteristics related to recurrence in HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer, and to develop nomograms for predicting recurrence. METHODS In this dual-center study, we retrospectively enrolled 570 patients with HER2+ breast cancer. The ultrasound and clinicopathological characteristics of hormone receptor (HR)-/HER2+ patients and HR+/HER2+ patients were analyzed separately according to HR status. Eighty percent of the original samples from HR-/HER2+ and HR+/HER2+ patients were extracted by bootstrap sampling as the training cohorts, while the remaining 20% were used as the external validation cohorts. Informative characteristics were screened through univariate and multivariable Cox regression in the training cohorts and used to develop nomograms for predicting recurrence. The predictive accuracy was calculated using Harrell's C-index and calibration curves. RESULTS Three informative characteristics (axillary nodal status, calcification, and Adler degree) were identified in HR-/HER2+ patients, and another three (histological grade, axillary nodal status, and echogenic halo) in HR+/HER2+ patients. Based on these, two separate nomograms were constructed to assess recurrence risk. In the training cohorts, the C-index was 0.740 (95% CI: 0.667-0.811) for HR-/HER2+ nomogram, and 0.749 (95% CI: 0.679-0.820) for HR+/HER2+ nomogram. In the validation cohorts, the C-index was 0.708 (95% CI: 0.540-0.877) for HR-/HER2+ group, and 0.705 (95% CI: 0.557-0.853) for HR+/HER2+ group. The calibration curves also indicated the excellent accuracy of the nomograms. CONCLUSIONS Ultrasound performance of HER2+ breast cancers with different HR status was significantly different. Nomograms integrating ultrasound and clinicopathological characteristics exhibited favorable performance and have the potential to serve as a reliable method for predicting recurrence in heterogeneous breast cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer morbility and mortality in women. The possibility of overtreatment or inappropriate treatment exists, and methods for evaluating prognosis need to be improved. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients (from January 2013 to December 2018) were recruited and divided into a training group and a testing group. All patients were followed for more than 3 years. Patients were divided into a disease-free group and a recurrence group based on follow up results at 3 years. Ultrasound (US) and mammography (MG) images were collected to establish deep learning models (DLMs) using ResNet50. Clinical data, MG, and US characteristics were collected to select independent prognostic factors using a cox proportional hazards model to establish a clinical model. DLM and independent prognostic factors were combined to establish a combined model. RESULTS In total, 1242 patients were included. Independent prognostic factors included age, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, HER2, orientation, blood flow, dubious calcification, and size. We established 5 models: the US DLM, MG DLM, US + MG DLM, clinical and combined model. The combined model using US images, MG images, and pathological, clinical, and radiographic characteristics had the highest predictive performance (AUC = 0.882 in the training group, AUC = 0.739 in the testing group). CONCLUSION DLMs based on the combination of US, MG, and clinical data have potential as predictive tools for breast cancer prognosis.

Abstract
Background Breast cancer (BC) is the most common and prominent deadly disease among women. Predicting BC survival mainly relies on TNM staging, molecular profiling and imaging, hampered by subjectivity and expenses. This study aimed to establish an economical and reliable model using the most common preoperative routine blood tests (RT) data for survival and surveillance strategy management. Methods We examined 2863 BC patients, dividing them into training and validation cohorts (7:3). We collected demographic features, pathomics characteristics and preoperative 24-item RT data. BC risk factors were identified through Cox regression, and a predictive nomogram was established. Its performance was assessed using C-index, area under curves (AUC), calibration curve and decision curve analysis. Kaplan-Meier curves stratified patients into different risk groups. We further compared the STAR model (utilizing HE and RT methodologies) with alternative nomograms grounded in molecular profiling (employing second-generation short-read sequencing methodologies) and imaging (utilizing PET-CT methodologies). Results The STAR nomogram, incorporating subtype, TNM stage, age and preoperative RT data (LYM, LYM%, EOSO%, RDW-SD, P-LCR), achieved a C-index of 0.828 in the training cohort and impressive AUCs (0.847, 0.823 and 0.780) for 3-, 5- and 7-year OS rates, outperforming other nomograms. The validation cohort showed similar impressive results. The nomogram calculates a patient's total score by assigning values to each risk factor, higher scores indicating a poor prognosis. STAR promises potential cost savings by enabling less intensive surveillance in around 90% of BC patients. Compared to nomograms based on molecular profiling and imaging, STAR presents a more cost-effective, with potential savings of approximately $700-800 per breast cancer patient. Conclusion Combining appropriate RT parameters, STAR nomogram could help in the detection of patient anemia, coagulation function, inflammation and immune status. Practical implementation of the STAR nomogram in a clinical setting is feasible, and its potential clinical impact lies in its ability to provide an early, economical and reliable tool for survival prediction and surveillance strategy management. However, our model still has limitations and requires external data validation. In subsequent studies, we plan to mitigate the potential impact on model robustness by further updating and adjusting the data and model.

Abstract
Axillary lymph node (ALN) status is a key prognostic factor in patients with early-stage invasive breast cancer (IBC). The present study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram based on multimodal ultrasonographic (MMUS) features for early prediction of axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM). A total of 342 patients with early-stage IBC (240 in the training cohort and 102 in the validation cohort) who underwent preoperative conventional ultrasound (US), strain elastography, shear wave elastography and contrast-enhanced US examination were included between August 2021 and March 2022. Pathological ALN status was used as the reference standard. The clinicopathological factors and MMUS features were analyzed with uni- and multivariate logistic regression to construct a clinicopathological and conventional US model and a MMUS-based nomogram. The MMUS nomogram was validated with respect to discrimination, calibration, reclassification and clinical usefulness. US features of tumor size, echogenicity, stiff rim sign, perfusion defect, radial vessel and US Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System category 5 were independent risk predictors for ALNM. MMUS nomogram based on these factors demonstrated an improved calibration and favorable performance [area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC), 0.927 and 0.922 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively] compared with the clinicopathological model (AUC, 0.681 and 0.670, respectively), US-depicted ALN status (AUC, 0.710 and 0.716, respectively) and the conventional US model (AUC, 0.867 and 0.894, respectively). MMUS nomogram improved the reclassification ability of the conventional US model for ALNM prediction (net reclassification improvement, 0.296 and 0.288 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively; both P<0.001). Taken together, the findings of the present study suggested that the MMUS nomogram may be a promising, non-invasive and reliable approach for predicting ALNM.

Abstract
Introduction With recent advances in breast cancer (BC) treatment, the disease-free survival (DFS) of patients is increasing and the risk factors for recurrence and metastasis are changing. However, a dynamic approach to assessing the risk of recurrent metastasis in BC is currently lacking. This study aimed to develop a dynamically changing prediction model for recurrent metastases based on conditional survival (CS) analysis. Methods Clinical and pathological data from patients with BC who underwent surgery at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University between August 2011 and August 2022 were retrospectively analysed. The risk of recurrence and metastasis in patients with varying survival rates was calculated using CS analysis, and a risk prediction model was constructed. Results A total of 4244 patients were included in this study, with a median follow-up of 83.16 ± 31.59 months. Our findings suggested that the real-time DFS of patients increased over time, and the likelihood of DFS after surgery correlated with the number of years of prior survival. We explored different risk factors for recurrent metastasis in baseline patients, 3-year, and 5-year disease-free survivors, and found that low HER2 was a risk factor for subsequent recurrence in patients with 5-year DFS. Based on this, conditional nomograms were developed. The nomograms showed good predictive ability for recurrence and metastasis in patients with BC. Conclusion Our study showed that the longer patients with BC remained disease-free, the greater their chances of remaining disease-free again. Predictive models for recurrence and metastasis risk based on CS analysis can help improve the confidence of patients fighting cancer and help doctors personalise treatment and follow-up plans.

Abstract
Breast cancer, which is the most common type of malignant tumor among humans, is a leading cause of death in females. Standard treatment strategies, including neoadjuvant chemotherapy, surgery, postoperative chemotherapy, targeted therapy, endocrine therapy, and radiotherapy, are tailored for individual patients. Such personalized therapies have tremendously reduced the threat of breast cancer in females. Furthermore, early imaging screening plays an important role in reducing the treatment cycle and improving breast cancer prognosis. The recent innovative revolution in artificial intelligence (AI) has aided radiologists in the early and accurate diagnosis of breast cancer. In this review, we introduce the necessity of incorporating AI into breast imaging and the applications of AI in mammography, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography/computed tomography based on published articles since 1994. Moreover, the challenges of AI in breast imaging are discussed.

Abstract
Background Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients who recur at different times are associated with distinct biological characteristics and prognoses. Research on rapid-relapse TNBC (RR-TNBC) is sparse. In this study, we aimed to describe the characteristics of recurrence, predictors for relapse, and prognosis in rrTNBC patients. Methods Clinicopathological data of 1584 TNBC patients from 2014 to 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. The characteristics of recurrence were compared between patients with RR-TNBC and slow relapse TNBC(SR-TNBC). All TNBC patients were randomly divided into a training set and a validation set to find predictors for rapid relapse. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the data of the training set. C-index and brier score analysis for predicting rapid relapse in the validation set was used to evaluate the discrimination and accuracy of the multivariate logistic model. Prognostic measurements were analyzed in all TNBC patients. Results Compared with SR-TNBC patients, RR-TNBC patients tended to have a higher T staging, N staging, TNM staging, and low expression of stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs). The recurring characteristics were prone to appear as distant metastasis at the first relapse. The first metastatic site was apt to visceral metastasis and less likely to have chest wall or regional lymph node metastasis. Six predictors (postmenopausal status, metaplastic breast cancer,≥pT3 staging,≥pN1 staging, sTIL intermediate/high expression, and Her2 [1+]) were used to construct the predictive model of rapid relapse in TNBC patients. The C-index and brier score in the validation set was 0.861 and 0.095, respectively. This suggested that the predictive model had high discrimination and accuracy. The prognostic data for all TNBC patients showed that RR-TNBC patients had the worst prognosis, followed by SR-TNBC patients. Conclusion RR-TNBC patients were associated with unique biological characteristics and worse outcomes compared to non-RR-TNBC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The clinicopathological and ultrasound features associated with recurrence in patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) were used to develop a nomogram to predict the prognosis of TNBC. METHODS Clinicopathological data of 300 patients with TNBC treated between July 2012 and September 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. The endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Prognostic factors were screened by multivariate COX regression to develop nomograms. The C-index and calibration curves were used to evaluate the predictive accuracy and discriminatory ability of nomograms. RESULTS Of 300 patients with TNBC followed-up for 5 years, 80 (26.7%) had PFS events. Five informative prognostic factors (large size, vertical orientation, posterior acoustic enhancement, lymph node involvement, and high pathological stage) were screened and used to construct a nomogram for PFS. The C-index of the PFS nomogram was 0.88 (p < 0.01, 95% confidence interval, 0.85-0.90), indicating good predictive accuracy. CONCLUSIONS We developed and validated a nomogram for predicting PFS in TNBC. Vertical orientation and posterior acoustic enhancement in ultrasound images of TNBC were associated with worse outcomes. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE Patients with TNBC have a very poor prognosis and patients have a high risk of recurrence, and our study developed a nomogram based on ultrasound and clinicopathological features for TNBC patients to improve the accuracy of individualized prediction of recurrence and provide help for clinical treatment.
