Breast cancer is a malignant tumor with the highest incidence in women. In recent years, the incidence of breast cancer has shown an increasing trend, especially in younger patients, which seriously threatens the life and health of women. In order to improve the treatment effect of breast cancer, neoadjuvant chemotherapy has become a reliable strategy to cooperate with surgical treatment and improve the prognosis of advanced breast cancer, which is conducive to quickly and accurately curbing the growth of cancer cells, controlling the patients’ condition, reducing their pain, and improving the cure rate of breast cancer patients. This paper analyzes the development history of ultrasound radiomics, explores its application in the evaluation and prediction of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer, and clarifies the research results of multimodal ultrasound radiomics in the analysis of high-order characteristics of breast cancer tumors and the evaluation of tumor heterogeneity, so as to provide references for the clinical treatment of breast cancer.
