Study on the application value of ultrasound elastography combined with mammography in the breast cancer surgery

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical application value of ultrasound elastography combined with molybdenum target in the breast conserving surgery of breast cancer.

MethodsEighty-four breast cancer patients scheduled by breast conserving surgery were detected using ultrasound elastography and mammography alone and in combination before operation.The imaging findings and accuracy of breast ultrasound elastography combined with mammography and mammography alone were determined by comparing with the postoperative pathological results.

ResultsThe detection rate of breast lesions detected by ultrasound elastography combined with molybdenum target X-ray was significantly higher than that detected by ultrasound elastography alone and mammography alone(P < 0.05 and P < 0.01).The detection rates of axillary lymph node metastasis of ultrasound elastography, mammography and ultrasound elastography combined with mammography were 60.98%, 53.31% and 70.73%, respectively, but the difference of which was not statistically significant(P>0.05).The ultrasound elastography combined with mammography in evaluating the feasibility of breast conserving surgery was more accurate than the other two methods(P < 0.05).

ConclusionsThe application of ultrasound elastography combined with mammography in breast conserving surgery is more helpful to improve the accuracy of the disease, and provide more reference value for clinical practice.
