Breast imaging modalities correctly estimated pathological tumor size in less than half of the tumors. Based on this finding, predicting residual tumor size post-NACT is challenging using conventional imaging. Patients with early radiological non-response might need improved monitoring during NACT and be considered for changed treatment plans.
