Research progress of imaging evaluation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer / 实用肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

Traditionally,conventional imaging modalities used to assess neoplasms for neoadjuvant chemotherapy responses have their own limitations.Functional imaging can predict neoadjuvant chemotherapeutic responses early and thus guide personalized therapies.However,there is no standard method of imaging assessment for neoadjuvant chemotherapy follow-up.The aim of this arti-cle is to discuss the accuracy,advantages,limitations,and future directions of various imaging methods,especially functional imaging, for evaluating the response to chemotherapy in patients with breast neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
