volumetric cancer-net bca-s sbr cancer breastRésumé
The prevalence of breast cancer continues to grow, affecting about 300,000 females in the United States in 2023.
However, there are different levels of severity of breast cancer requiring different treatment strategies, and hence, grading breast cancer has become a vital component of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment planning.
Specifically, the gold-standard Scarff-Bloom-Richardson (SBR) grade has been shown to consistently indicate a patient's response to chemotherapy.
Unfortunately, the current method to determine the SBR grade requires removal of some cancer cells from the patient which can lead to stress and discomfort along with costly expenses.
In this paper, we study the efficacy of deep learning for breast cancer grading based on synthetic correlated diffusion (CDI$^s$) imaging, a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) modality and found that it achieves better performance on SBR grade prediction compared to those learnt using gold-standard imaging modalities.
Hence, we introduce Cancer-Net BCa-S, a volumetric deep radiomics approach for predicting SBR grade based on volumetric CDI$^s$ data.
Given the promising results, this proposed method to identify the severity of the cancer would allow for better treatment decisions without the need for a biopsy.
Cancer-Net BCa-S has been made publicly available as part of a global open-source initiative for advancing machine learning for cancer care.
