Popis: Abstract Background MRI-based tumor shrinkage patterns (TSP) after neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) have been associated with pathological response. However, the understanding of TSP after early NAT remains limited. We aimed to analyze the relationship between TSP after early NAT and pathological response after therapy in different molecular subtypes. Methods We prospectively enrolled participants with invasive ductal breast cancers who received NAT and performed pretreatment DCE-MRI from September 2020 to August 2022. Early-stage MRIs were performed after the first (1st-MRI) and/or second (2nd-MRI) cycle of NAT. Tumor shrinkage patterns were categorized into four groups: concentric shrinkage, diffuse decrease (DD), decrease of intensity only (DIO), and stable disease (SD). Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent variables associated with pathologic complete response (pCR), and stratified analysis according to tumor hormone receptor (HR)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) disease subtype. Results 344 participants (mean age: 50 years, 113/345 [33%] pCR) with 345 tumors (1 bilateral) had evaluable 1st-MRI or 2nd-MRI to comprise the primary analysis cohort, of which 244 participants with 245 tumors had evaluable 1st-MRI (82/245 [33%] pCR) and 206 participants with 207 tumors had evaluable 2nd-MRI (69/207 [33%] pCR) to comprise the 1st- and 2nd-timepoint subgroup analysis cohorts, respectively. In the primary analysis, multivariate analysis showed that early DD pattern (OR = 12.08; 95% CI 3.34–43.75; p
