Correlation Analysis between Ultrasonic Signs and Histopathological Types in Patients with Breast Cancer
Objective:To study the correlation between ultrasonic signs and histopathological types in patients with breast cancer.Method:A retrospective study was conducted on clinical data of 70 patients with breast cancer admitted to Nantong First People's Hospital from January 2020 to January 2022 were examined by color Doppler ultrasound before treatment and histopathology after treatment.General information of patients were counted,and the ultrasound signs(tumor morphology,hairpin sign,hyperechoic halo,posterior echo,microcalcifications,and blood flow)of patients with different histopathological types[infiltrating lobular carcinoma of the breast(ILC)and invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast(IDC)]and grading(low differentiation,medium to high differentiation)were compared and analyzed.Result:The histological classification of 70 patients was IDC in 45 cases and ILC in 25 cases.There were 32 cases with low differentiation and 38 cases with medium to high differentiation in histological differentiation.The proportion of mass morphology in IDC patients was lower than that in ILC patients,and the proportion of microcalcifications was higher than that in ILC patients,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);the proportion of mass morphology,microcalcification and rich blood flow in poorly differentiated breast cancer patients were higher than those in moderately well differentiated breast cancer patients,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:The irregularity of mass morphology and signs of microcalcifications on ultrasonography in patients with breast cancer are related to both their pathohistologic type and grading,and the signs of rich blood flow also play an active role in judging the histopathological classification of breast cancer patients.
