Objective To investigate the correlations of the characteristics of two-dimensional ultrasound, ultrasound-assisted elasticity imaging, shear-wave elastography images and contrast-enhanced ultrasound with the molecular biomarkers as estrogen receptor(ER), progesterone receptor(PR), human growth factor receptor-2(HER-2) and Ki-67 in patients with breast cancer. Methods Two-dimensional ultrasound, ultrasound-assisted elasticity imaging, shear-wave elastography and contrast-enhanced ultrasound were performed in 160 suspected breast cancer patients to observe the ultrasonographic features and detect the maximum modulus of elasticity(Emax) of breast masses. ROC curve was drawn to evaluate the efficacy of Emax on the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors. The histopathological result was used as the gold standard to observe the accuracy of Emax on the diagnosis of malignant breast tumors. In 107 patients with invasive breast cancer, immunohistochemical method was used to detect the positive rates of ER, PR, HER-2 and Ki-67. The correlations of ultrasonographic features with the positive rates of ER, PR, HER-2 and Ki-67 were analyzed.Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlations of ultrasonographic features with ER,PR,HER-2 and Ki-67.Results In 110 patients with malignant breast tumors,there were 107 patients with invasive breast cancer.Benign breast tumors were confirmed in 50 patients.When the optimal cut-off value of shear-wave elastography imaging modulus Emax was 93.11 kPa,the AUCfor diagnosing benign and malignant breast tumors was 0.9786(95%CI:0.960-0.990,P<0.001),with a sensitivity of 93.64%,and specificity of 96.00%.The diagnosis accuracy of Emax≥93.11 kPa was 89.64%.The positive rate of ER was higher in patients with irregular shape of invasive breast cancer(69.52%)than that in patients with regular shape(20.00%)(P<0.05).The positive rates of PR were higher in patients with mass diameter<2 cm and irregular shape(72.29%,67.82%)than those in patients with mass diameter≥2 cm and regular shape(30.51%,25.00%)(P<0.05).The positive rates of HER-2 were higher in patients with aspect ratio≥1 and axillary lymph node metastasis(73.86%,59.57%)than those in patients with aspect ratio <1 and no axillary lymph node metastasis(26.19%,20.00%)(P<0.05).The Ki-67 positive rates were higher in patients with elastic hardness score>3,Emax ≥93.11 kPa,inhomogeneous enhancement,and contrast range >3 mm(91.76%,90.82%,91.58%,85.71%)than those in patients with elastic hardness score ≤3,Emax<93.11 kPa,homogeneous enhancement,and unchanged contrast range(59.09%,44.44%,58.33%,60.87%)(P<0.05).The tumor morphology was negatively correlated with the positive rate of ER(r=-0.358,P<0.001),the tumor diameter and morphology were negatively correlated with the positive rate of PR(r=-0.732,P<0.001;r=-0.449,P<0.001),the aspect ratio and axillary lymph nodes were positively correlated with the positive rate of HER-2(r=0.493,P<0.001;r=0.342,P<0.001),and elastic hardness score,shear-wave elastography images,inhomogeneous enhancement of contrast,and enlargement of contrast range were positively correlated with Ki-67 positive rate(r=0.725,P<0.001;r=0.566,P<0.001;r=0.642,P<0.001).Conclusion The ultrasonic signs of ultrasound-assisted elasticity imaging,shear-wave elastography imaging and contrast-enhanced ultrasound are correlated with the positive expressions of ER,PR,HER-2 and Ki-67,which could noninvasively predict the aggressiveness of breast cancer.
