Prediction model of the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancers by a Naive Bayes algorithm

Chemotherapy is useful to many breast cancer patients, however, it is not therapeutic for some patients. Pathologic complete response (pCR) is an indicator to good response in Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). In this study, we aimed to develop a way to predict pCR before NAC. We retrospectively collected 287 stage II-III breast cancer cases either to a training set (N = 197) or to a test set (N = 90). Fourteen candidate genes were selected from...
