Abstract:Objective To investigate the application of color doppler ultrasound and ultrasound elastography in diagnosis of lymphatic metastasis of breast cancer. Methods From January 2017 to March 2018, in Huzhou Central Hospital, 90 patients with breast cancer were selected, they were detected by color Doppler ultrasound and ultrasound elasticity imaging on preoperative and histological pathology examination postoperative. Results Among 90 patients, 49 patients were lymphatic metastasis, and 41 patients without lymphatie metastasis. The color Doppler flow grade and score of ultrasound elasticity imaging in the patients with lymphatic metastasis were significantly higher than the patients without lymphatic metastasis, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of color doppler ultrasound combined with ultrasonic elastography were significantly higher than the color Doppler ultrasound and ultrasonic elastography, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Color Doppler ultrasound and ultrasound elastography, were not the same for patients with lymphatic metastasis of breast cancer and non-metastic patients and the ultrasonic elastography has high sensitivity and specificity for lymphatic metastasis of breast cancer. It is worthy of clinical popularization and application.
