It has long been controversial whether surgery should be performed for metastatic breast cancer (dnMBC). The choice and timing of the primary tumor resection for dnMBC patients need to be individualized, but there was no tool to assist clinicians in decision-making. A 1:1:2 propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to examine the prognosis of dnMBC patients who underwent neoadjuvant systemic therapy followed by surgery (NS), surgery followed by chemotherapy (SC), and chemotherapy without surgery (CW). Then, two deep feed-forward neural network models were constructed to conduct personalized treatment recommendations. The PSM-adjusted data showed that not all the dnMBC patients could benefit from surgery, and the advantages of NS and SC were different among various subgroups. Patients with stage T1-2, and pathological grade II tumors can be operated on directly, whereas those with stage T3-4, pathological grade III/IV diseases require NS. However, patients with grade I diseases, over 80 years of age, or with brain metastases could not benefit from surgery, regardless of whether they received neoadjuvant systemic therapy. Our deep neural network models exhibited high accuracy on both the train and test sets, one model can assist in deciding whether surgery is requested for dnMBC patient, if the surgery is necessary, another model can determine whether neoadjuvant systemic therapy is needed. This study investigated the prognosis of dnMBC patients, and two artificial intelligence (AI) assisted surgery decision-making models were developed to assist clinicians in delivering precision medicine while improving the survival of dnMBC patients.
对于转移性乳腺癌(dnMBC)是否应进行手术,长期以来一直存在争议。dnMBC患者原发肿瘤切除的选择和时机需要个体化,但此前没有辅助临床医生进行决策的工具。采用1:1:2倾向评分匹配(PSM)方法,研究接受新辅助全身治疗后手术(NS)、手术后继变化疗(SC)以及单纯化疗(CW)的dnMBC患者的预后。然后,构建了两个深度前馈神经网络模型,以给出个性化的治疗建议。PSM调整后的数据表明,并非所有dnMBC患者都能从手术中获益,NS和SC在不同亚组中的优势也有所不同。T1-2期、病理分级为II级的肿瘤患者可直接进行手术,而T3-4期、病理分级为III/IV级的疾病患者则需要进行新辅助全身治疗。然而,I级疾病、年龄超过80岁或有脑转移的患者,无论是否接受新辅助全身治疗,都无法从手术中获益。我们的深度神经网络模型在训练集和测试集上均表现出高准确率,一个模型可辅助决定是否对dnMBC患者进行手术,如果有必要进行手术,另一个模型可确定是否需要新辅助全身治疗。本研究调查了dnMBC患者的预后,并开发了两个人工智能(AI)辅助手术决策模型,以协助临床医生提供精准医疗,同时提高dnMBC患者的生存率。
