乳腺癌超声特征与腋窝淋巴结转移相关性的研究进展

Research progress on the correlation between ultrasound features and axillary lymph node metastasis in breast cancer

腋窝淋巴结状态影响着乳腺癌患者的治疗与预后,因此腋窝淋巴结的术前评估尤为重要。近年来许多研究发现,乳腺癌的常规超声、弹性成像及超声造影特征能够间接反映腋窝淋巴结的转移情况,可用于术前早期评估,避免不必要的前哨淋巴结活检。本文就乳腺癌超声特征与腋窝淋巴结转移间的相关性进行综述。

The status of axillary lymph node affects the treatment and prognosis of breast cancer patients,so the preoperative assessment of axillary lymph nodes is particularly important.In recent years,many studies have found that the conventional ultrasound,elastography and contrast-enhanced ultrasound characteristics of breast cancer can indirectly reflect the metastasis of axillary lymph node,and they can be used for early preoperative evaluation to avoid unnecessary sentinel lymph node biopsy.This article reviews the correlation between ultrasound features and metastasis of axillary lymph node in breast cancer.
