Abstract

Accurate risk stratification is critical for guiding treatment decisions in early breast cancer. We present an artificial intelligence (AI)-based tool that analyzes digitized tumor slides to predict 5-year metastasis-free survival (MFS) in patients with estrogen receptor-positive, HER2-negative (ER + /HER2 − ) early breast cancer (EBC). Our deep learning model, RlapsRisk BC, independently predicts MFS and provides significant prognostic value beyond traditional clinico-pathological variables (C-index 0.81 vs 0.76, p
