Abstract

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: This study aims to explore the feasibility of the deep learning radiomics nomogram (DLRN) for predicting tumor status and axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with breast cancer. Additionally, we employ a Cox regression model for survival analysis to validate the effectiveness of the fusion algorithm.
