SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (FLT-1)

Population: 1 of the 73 participants did not have both FLT-1 and Ki-67 LI available data

For the purposes of reporting, SUVmax @ FLT1 will be considered the outcome. the correlation is measured between the fraction of Ki-67-positive tumor cells (the Ki-67 labeling index) and SUVmax at FLT1 . Ki-67 labeling index (LI) was calculated as the number of Ki-67 positive tumor cells per one thousand tumor cells.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (FLT-1) and post-NAC (FLT-3)

Population: 43 patients who had both FLT1 and FLT3 scans

To evaluate the relationship between the change in uptake between FLT1 and FLT3 and pathologic complete response, an ROC curve will be estimated and the area under the curve (AUC), along with its 90% confidence interval, will be determined. For the purposes of reporting, we will consider the percent change in uptake between FLT1 and FLT3 to be the outcome. Reported values in the Outcome Measure table represent Change in uptake between FLT1 and FLT3, i.e., percentage change of SUVmax. The relationship between the change in uptake between FLT1 and FLT3 and pathological complete response was assessed by using ROC analysis. The Area Under the ROC Curve is reported in the Statistical Analysis section
