Development of Gene Expression-Based Random Forest Model for Predicting Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Response in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) response is an important indicator of patient survival in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), but predicting chemosensitivity remains a challenge in clinical practice. We developed an 86-gene-based random forest (RF) classifier capable of predicting neoadjuvant chemotherapy response (pathological Complete Response (pCR) or Residual Disease (RD)) in TNBC patients. The performance of pCR classification of the proposed model was evaluated by Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve and Precision Recall (PR) curve. The AUROC and AUPRC of the proposed model on the test set were 0.891 and 0.829, respectively. At a predefined specificity (>90%), the proposed model shows a superior sensitivity compared to the best performing reported NAC response prediction mo
