Ultrasound Imaging Features of Breast Cancer and Their Relationships with Metastasis of Axillary Lymph Nodes
Objective To explore the ultrasound imaging features of breast cancer and their relationships with metastasis of axillary lymph nodes.Methods 80 patients with breast cancer were divided into metastatic group and non-metastatic group according to metastasis of axillary lymph nodes.All patients underwent conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound examinations,and the relationships between ultrasound imaging features and axillary lymph node metastasis were analyzed.Results Univariate analysis and Logistic multivariate analysis showed that maximum diameter>2 cm,and perfusion defect and increased range after enhancement were independent risk factors affecting axillary lymph node metastasis(P<0.05).Conclusions The maximum diameter,and perfusion defect and enhancement range after angiography are closely related to axillary lymph node metastasis of breast cancer,which can be used for early prediction.
