Identification of pathological complete response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer: comparison of greyscale ultrasound, shear wave elastography, and MRI.

CONCLUSIONS: SWE combined with greyscale US shows promise for end-of-treatment identification of response to NACT in women with breast cancer, with accuracies similar to breast MRI. This technique could be used to inform surgical decision-making after NACT.
