The value of color Doppler ultrasonography in the diagnosis of breast cancer

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of color Doppler ultrasonography on breast cancer and analysis the causes of misdiagnosis.Methods The color Doppler ultrasonography was performed in 52 patients with breast cancer.We examined the shape,size,internal echo and hemodynamic of tumors.The axillary lymph nodes were also checked.Results There were 45(86.54%) cases who were correctly diagnosed.Two(3.85%) cases could not be diagnosed definitely and five(9.62%) cases were misdiagnosed as benign tumors.Conclusion The right rate of ultrasonography is high in patients of breast cancer who show typical sonography.However,it is difficult for ultrasonography to diagnosis the early breast cancer which has no typical sonography or tumor is too small.The color Doppler ultrasonography should be combined with clinical appearance,cytology and mammogiphy in the purpose of geting early right diagnosins and reducing misdiagnosis.
