Abstract:Background
Accurately identifying patients with axillary pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer patients remains challenging.
Purpose
To compare the feasibility of shear wave elastography (SWE) performed on breast tumors and axillary lymph nodes (LNs) in predicting the axillary status after NAC.
Materials and Methods
This prospective study included a total of 319 bre… Show more
