چکیده
Ultrasound is a popular imaging modality for its safety and low cost. Its role in the diagnosis of breast cancer is discussed, and its performance is then compared those of mammography (gold standard) and MRI. Besides conventional B-mode and color or power Doppler ultrasound images, latest development of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) and supersonic shear imaging and their application in breast diagnosis are introduced.

Imaging features of estrogen-negative breast cancers: a correlation study with human epidermal growth factor type II overexpression
Background: Estrogen-negative breast cancers have different clinical course, prognostic features and treatment response in comparison to estrogen receptor-positive (ER-positive) breast cancers. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) oncoprotein has found to have a pivotal role in natural cell growth and cell division and is suggested to be directly related to tumor invasiveness in brea...
متن کاملA review of neural network detection methods for breast cancer: review article
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and the earlier it is diagnosed, the easier it is to treat. The most common way to diagnose breast cancer is mammography. Mammography is a simple chest x-ray and a tool for early detection of non-palpable breast cancers and tumors.

متن کاملDermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans; Case Report of a Rare Tumor of the Breast
Introduction: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an intermediate and slowgrowing sarcoma, developing most commonly in the trunk and extremities and rarely in the breast. It may be recurrent, but metastasis is not common. Excisional surgery with enough resection margins decreases the recurrence rate much more. Case Presentation: An 18-year-old woman presented with posttraumatic bruising ...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided boost irradiation of tumor cavity after lumpectomy in breast cancer
Background: After breast conserving surgery, most recurrences occur around the primary tumor site. This justifies the use of boost radiotherapy to the primary site of tumor. Surgical scar is not always a good surrogate for the location of the lumpectomy cavity. The aim of this study was to evaluate ultrasonic guidance for detection of the lumpectomy cavity after breast conserving surgery ...
