Usefulness of imaging findings in predicting tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in patients with breast cancer.

• Preoperative assessment of TILs is an important biomarker of prognosis and treatment efficacy. • ADC value can be a useful tool in distinguishing high and low sTIL levels as a non-invasive method. • The prediction of sTIL levels using imaging findings may give an opportunity to predict prognosis and an optimal treatment for the BC patients.
