Cover Story: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by tumor resection is crucial for treatment. The standard for evaluating NAC response is histological assessment using the modified Huvos classification, which has its limitations. Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) can visualize tumor properties such as perfusion and permeability. The relative wash-in rate (rWIR) correlates with histological response and reflects changes in tumor perfusion before and after NAC. This technique allows pre-resection prediction of NAC response and is a potential tool for treatment personalization. This multicenter retrospective study explores rWIR as a prognostic factor for clinical outcomes and its added value alongside known factors like age, tumor size, metastasis presence, histological response, and local recurrence. View this paper
