Radiomics-clinical nomogram for preoperative tumor-node-metastasis staging prediction in breast cancer patients using dynamic enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed malignancies in women worldwide, and the disease burden continues to aggravate. The tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging information is crucial for oncology physicians to develop appropriate clinical strategies. This study aimed to investigate the value of a radiomics-clinical model for predicting TNM stage in breast cancer patients using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI).

Methods

DCE-MRI images from 166 patients with pathologically confirmed breast cancer were retrospectively collected, including early stage (TNM0-TNM2) and locally advanced or advanced stage (TNM3-TNM4). Included patients were divided into a training cohort (n=116) and a test cohort (n=50). The radiomics, clinical and
