Abstract
BACKGROUND: Early prediction of treatment response to neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) in breast cancer patients can facilitate timely adjustment of treatment regimens. We aimed to develop and validate a MRI-based enhanced self-attention network (MESN) for predicting pathological complete response (pCR) based on longitudinal images at the early stage of NAT.
