Study of Color Doppler Ultrasonography in evaluating effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to breast carcinoma
Objective To explore Color Doppler Ultrasonography in evaluating effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to breast carcinoma. Methods 180 cases of patients recurrently diagnosed with breast carcinoma were randomly selected. The primary tumors and node metastases of 180 patients with breast cancer were evaluated by color Doppler and ultrasonic energy before and after chemotherapy. Result The mean volume of the tumors were 12.85±4.26cm3 and 4.18 ±1.52cm3 before and after chemotherapy(P <0.05), with significant difference. There were significant differences in the blood mode and RI value of the breast tumors between before and after chemotherapy(P <0.05), with significant difference. Conclusion It is useful to appraise the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to breast carcinoma by Color Doppler Uhtrasonography.
