Correlation of Peritumoral Fat Content in Breast Carcinoma with Histologic Prognostic Factors : IDEAL-IQ Study [Presidential Award Proceedings]

Abstract

We correlated fat content surrounding breast cancer using the IDEAL IQ method with histologic prognostic factors. There was a signiˆcant correlation between the fat content calculated with the IDEAL IQ method and the histologic prognostic factors (lymph node metastasis and MIB 1 index). Fat content surrounding breast cancer calculated with the IDEAL IQ method may be a useful prognostic biomarker for breast carcinoma.
