    Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is increasingly used for locally advanced breast cancer, correlating with improved survival outcomes.

  • 2

    Deep learning-based radiomics was evaluated for predicting residual cancer burden after chemotherapy but did not show improvement over standard clinical predictors.

  • 3

    Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI is the most sensitive method for visualizing breast lesions, yet lacks specificity for reliably identifying pathological complete response.

  • 4

    The study utilized a retrospective training cohort and a prospective test cohort to assess the predictive value of deep radiomics in breast cancer.

  • 5

    Histopathological evaluation of resection specimens was crucial for determining residual cancer burden and classifying patient responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
