Early breast cancer detection & diagnosis

Who needs to do color Doppler ultrasound of breast cancer

Clinically, ultrasound is mainly used for examination of breast lobular hyperplasia. Inflammation, cysts, fibroids, and breast cancer and other diseases, especially in identifying the nature of breast lumps found that early breast cancer, check the axillary and supraclavicular lymph nodes, the clinical diagnosis and treatment can provide a reliable basis.

Ultrasound imaging technology, particularly color Doppler ultrasound technologies emerge, so that the internal structure of breast mass, size, shape, edge, the number of internal blood vessels, blood flow distribution and its relationship with the surrounding tissues, etc. , can be clearly displayed. Doctors can detect the basis of these data. To determine the nature of the initial mass. In short, whenever found to have breast lumps, are put through an initial specific mass nature of the color Doppler ultrasound examination.

Check Memorandum

1, check the day of Yichuan “cardigan”, to facilitate inspection.

2, inspection, checking the patient lying in bed, fully exposed breasts.

3, the doctor first of all observe the patient’s breast and nipple appearance of whether there are changes. Parallel breast palpation in order to understand the size and location of tumor. Subsequently, with the nipple as the center partition scan, observe and record the mass of the shape, texture, borders, with or without capsule, the internal availability of calcification and so on. At last, color Doppler detection of tumor blood flow within and around.

4, the doctor out of inspection reports.

CDFI How to determine the nature of breast lumps

1, breast lumps form

Invasive border is the main features of breast cancer, usually appears as the color Doppler ultrasound on the Crab-like glitch sign, etc.. Clear boundaries, shape the rules are mostly benign breast lumps.

2, supraclavicular and axillary lymph node shrinkage of

Under normal circumstances, these two parts of the lymph nodes are not enlarged, and the texture soft. At the same time that those who have breast lumps found that two sites are lymph nodes, and can not find enlarged lymph nodes caused by other reasons, then a high degree of suspicion of breast lumps are malignant.

3, calcification within the mass

Calcification of great value in the diagnosis of breast cancer. Calcification of breast cancer is characterized by needle-like or a sand-like micro-calcifications, high-resolution color Doppler ultrasound is very easy to find lumps of calcification.

4, tumor blood flow within and around the

Breast cancer, can stimulate the body’s production of a leiomyoma of vascular endothelial growth factor, can stimulate angiogenesis, and form a rich network of blood vessels. Color Doppler ultrasound usually manifested within or around the tumor blood flow rich, and sometimes can be found within the tumor blood vessels perforating branches, especially the arteries.

In addition, experienced physicians can also be combined with clinical color Doppler ultrasound on the tumor characteristics, if no abnormal nipple discharge, tumor surface, whether there is orange peel-like skin changes, and contact with the hardness of mass, activity level and so on, to make more accurate judgments.

Reminds

Although the color Doppler ultrasound to find small breast lesions, to determine the nature of mass, as well as to accurately locate the tumor more value, but non-specific ultrasound diagnostic imaging, many more similar lesions. Benign and malignant images are overlapping, often misdiagnosed or missed diagnosis. Therefore, it is breast mass line color Doppler examination of patients after the treatment should be to a specialist, comprehensive judgments by doctors and to determine the best treatment plan was not to go its own way.
