Value of Strain Elastography Ultrasound in Differentiation of Breast Masses and Histopathologic Correlation

Evaluation of the diagnostic function of shear wave elastography in the differentiation of malignant and benign breast masses and its relationship with histological factors

Background: Shear wave elastography (SWE) estimates the stiffness of a mass based on the velocity of shear wave propagation by sound waves. Due to higher cell density and angiogenesis, malignant masses have higher stiffness than benign ones. Methods: The present study was a prospective study and was performed on patients who were referred to Ahvaz Golestan Hospital with breast mass during Marc...

the study of aaag repeat polymorphism in promoter of errg gene and its association with the risk of breast cancer in isfahan region

چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...

Real-time elastography of parotid gland masses: the value of strain ratio for the differentiation of benign from malignant tumors

clinical application of shear wave elastography in breast masses

results of the 133 breast lesions, 32 were malignant and 101 were benign. in the differentiation of benign and malignant lesions, conventional us resulted in sensitivity of 100 %, specificity of 43.0 %, ppv of 57.1 %, npv of 36.7 %, and accuracy of 100 %. regarding swe, the sensitivity, specificity, ppv, npv, and accuracy values based on emax were 84.4 %, 89.1 %, 71.1 %, 94.7 %, and 88.0 %, res...
