Previous deep learning models have been proposed to predict the pathological complete response (pCR) and axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) in breast cancer. Yet, the models often leveraged multiple frameworks, required manual annotation, and discarded low-quality images. We aimed to develop an automated and reusable deep learning (AutoRDL) framework for tumor detection and prediction of pCR and ALNM using ultrasound images with diverse qualities.The AutoRDL framework includes a You Only Look Once version 5 (YOLOv5) network for tumor detection and a progressive multi-granularity (PMG) network for pCR and ALNM prediction. The training cohort and the internal validation cohort were recruited from Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (GPPH) between November 2012 and May 2021. The two external validation cohorts were recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University (KMUH), between January 2016 and December 2019, and Shunde Hospital of Southern Medical University (SHSMU) between January 2014 and July 2015. Prior to model training, super-resolution via iterative refinement (SR3) was employed to improve the spatial resolution of low-quality images from the KMUH. We developed three models for predicting pCR and ALNM: a clinical model using multivariable logistic regression analysis, an image model utilizing the PMG network, and a combined model that integrates both clinical and image data using the PMG network.The YOLOv5 network demonstrated excellent accuracy in tumor detection, achieving average precisions of 0.880-0.921 during validation. In terms of pCR prediction, the combined modelpost-SR3 outperformed the combined modelpre-SR3, image modelpost-SR3, image modelpre-SR3, and clinical model (AUC: 0.833 vs 0.822 vs 0.806 vs 0.790 vs 0.712, all p < 0.05) in the external validation cohort (KMUH). Consistently, the combined modelpost-SR3 exhibited the highest accuracy in ALNM prediction, surpassing the combined modelpre-SR3, image modelpost-SR3, image modelpre-SR3, and clinical model (AUC: 0.825 vs 0.806 vs 0.802 vs 0.787 vs 0.703, all p < 0.05) in the external validation cohort 1 (KMUH). In the external validation cohort 2 (SHSMU), the combined model also showed superiority over the clinical and image models (0.819 vs 0.712 vs 0.806, both p < 0.05).Our proposed AutoRDL framework is feasible in automatically predicting pCR and ALNM in real-world settings, which has the potential to assist clinicians in optimizing individualized treatment options for patients.National Key Research and Development Program of China (2023YFF1204600); National Natural Science Foundation of China (82227802, 82302306); Clinical Frontier Technology Program of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University, China (JNU1AF-CFTP-2022-a01201); Science and Technology Projects in Guangzhou (202201020022, 2023A03J1036, 2023A03J1038); Science and Technology Youth Talent Nurturing Program of Jinan University (21623209); and Postdoctoral Science Foundation of China (2022M721349).© 2024 The Author(s).
