  • * No viable tumor cells found after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

  • Tumor suspected according to MR mammography (BIRADS 4), no tumor histopathologically.

  • Tu size = maximum tumor diameter (cm); SUV Tu, SUV LN, and SUV Met = tracer uptake as standardized uptake value (SUV) in tumors, lymph nodes, and distant metastases; IHC αvβ3 = immunohistochemistry with αvβ3-specific antibody LM609; Neg. = negative; NA = not applicable.
