In this context, end of treatment (EOT) image-guided response assessment could be useful to adapt treatment for individual patients. Our main objective was to assess the effectiveness of 18F-FDG PET/CT and MRI in determining NAC response. Methods: Patients with surgically resectable breast cancer (stages II-III) were prospectively included and evaluated with 18F-FDG-PET/CT and MRI before and after standard-of-care neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Ultrasound guided breast biopsy was performed before NAC and pathologic examination with residual cancer burden (RCB) scoring was performed after surgery. Standard uptake values (SUVmax and SUVmean) from baseline PET scans were measured. EOT images results were compared with RCB scores to assess the sensitivity and specificity of (EOT) 18F-FDG-PET/CT and MRI images. A multinomial logistic re...
