The early prediction of pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and prognosis: comparison of PET Response Criteria in Solid Tumors and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer criteria in breast cancer

Conclusion EORTC criteria and PERCIST had early predictive value to long-term outcome, but moderate value for pCR. Furthermore, PERCIST might show more potential than the EORTC criteria and conventional PET-based parameters to predict prognosis in breast cancer patients following two cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
