A Review of AI-Based Radiomics and Computational Pathology Approaches in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: Current Applications and Perspectives
Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most common and deadly cancers worldwide. Approximately, 20% of all breast cancers are characterized as triple negative (TNBC). TNBC typically is associated with a poorer prognosis relative to other breast cancer subtypes. Due to its aggressiveness and lack of response to hormonal therapy, conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy is the usual treatment; however, this treatment is not always effective, and an important percentage of patients develop recurrence. More recently, immunotherapy has started to be used on some populations with TNBC showing promising results. Unfortunately, immunotherapy is only applicable to a minority of patients and responses in metastatic TNBC have overall been modest in comparison to other cancer types. This situation evidences the need for developing effective biomarkers that help to stratify and personalize patient management. Thanks to recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), there has been an increasing interest in its use for medical applications aiming at supporting clinical decision making. Several works have used AI in combination with diagnostic medical imaging, more specifically radiology and digitized histopathological tissue samples, aiming to extract disease-specific information that is difficult to quantify by the human eye. These works have demonstrated that analysis of such images in the context of TNBC has great potential for (1) risk-stratifying patients to identify those patients who are more likely to experience disease recurrence or die from the disease and (2) predicting pathologic complete response. In this manuscript, we present an overview on AI and its integration with radiology and histopathological images for developing prognostic and predictive approaches for TNBC. We present state of the art approaches in the literature and discuss the opportunities and challenges with developing AI algorithms regarding further development and clinical deployment, including identifying those patients who may benefit from certain treatments (e.g., adjuvant chemotherapy) from those who may not and thereby should be directed toward other therapies, discovering potential differences between populations, and identifying disease subtypes.
