Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women worldwide, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is an important treatment modality for locally advanced breast cancer. Predicting its efficacy has significant implications for guiding clinical treatment. This review aims to comprehensively explore the clinical applications and future prospects of multidimensional predictors in evaluating NAC efficacy in breast cancer. We will systematically analyze the characteristics, applications, and limitations of various predictors from clinical pathology, imaging, molecular biology, and liquid biopsy perspectives. Additionally, we will explore the combined application of predictors and their potential in individualized treatment, as well as discuss future development trends.
