MRI Radiomics-Based Machine Learning to Predict Lymphovascular Invasion of HER2-Positive Breast Cancer.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to develop and prospectively validate radiomic models based on MRI to predict lymphovascular invasion (LVI) status in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. A total of 225 patients with HER2-positive breast cancer who preoperatively underwent breast MRI were selected, forming the training set (n = 99 LVI-positive, n = 126 LVI-negative). A prospective validation cohort included 130 patients with breast cancer from the Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital of Dalian University (n = 57 LVI-positive, n = 73 LVI-negative). A total of 390 radiomic features and eight conventional radiological characteristics were extracted. For the optimum feature selection phase, the LASSO regression model with tenfold cross-validation (CV) was employed to identify features with non-zero coefficients
