Zusammenfassung: | Aim: The primary goal of this research is to compare the morphological response, as determined by clinical and sonographic examination, to the gold standard, histology, in assessing the effectiveness of major systemic chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). Materials and Methods: During the check and before each example of chemotherapy (FAC schedule), 54 patients with privately progressed, non-metastatic breast disease underwent a comprehensive clinical assessment, ultrasonography of the breast and axillae, and assortment and spooky Doppler appraisal to evaluate response to therapy. Results: In 90% of instances, Doppler provided early insight into how a patient might respond to treatment. Disappearance of all vascular signals inside the tumor was shown to be the strongest predictor of full pathological response. Conclusion: Patients with LABC may benefit from using color Doppler to determine how well chemotherapy is working. |
