Abstract

BACKGROUND: Pathological complete response (pCR) is an essential criterion for adjusting follow-up treatment plans for patients with breast cancer (BC). The value of the visual geometry group and long short-term memory (VGG-LSTM) network using time-series dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) for pCR identification in BC is unclear.
