Multiparametric ultrasound assessment of axillary lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer.

The presence and extent of metastatic disease in axillary lymph nodes (ALNs) in the setting of breast cancer (BC) are important factors for staging and therapy planning. The purpose of this study was to perform a multiparametric sonographic evaluation of ALNs to better differentiate between benign and metastatic nodes. Ninety-nine patients (mean age 54.

Immunohistochemical Subtypes of The Breast Cancer in The Ultrasound and Clinical Aspect - Literature Review.

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease both in its clinical and radiological manifestations and response to treatment. This is largely due to the polymorphism of the histological types as well as diversified molecular profiles of individual breast cancer types. Progress in the understanding of the biology of breast cancer was made with the introduction of immunohistochemical research into the common practice.

Is There a Correlation between Multiparametric Assessment in Ultrasound and Intrinsic Subtype of Breast Cancer?

Molecular profile of breast cancer provides information about its biological activity, prognosis and treatment strategies. The purpose of our study was to investigate the correlation between ultrasound features and molecular subtypes of breast cancer. From June 2019 to December 2019, 86 patients (median age 57 years; range 32-88) with 102 breast cancer tumors were included in the study.

Monitoring breast cancer response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with ultrasound signal statistics and integrated backscatter.

Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is used in patients with breast cancer to reduce tumor focus, metastatic risk, and patient mortality. Monitoring NAC effects is necessary to capture resistant patients and stop or change treatment. The existing methods for evaluating NAC results have some limitations.
