Prediction of axillary response by monitoring with ultrasound and MRI during and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients

ConclusionMonitoring ultrasound and MR axillary LNs and T size can be useful to predict axillary response to NAC in breast cancer patients.Key Points•Monitoring morphologic features of LNs is useful to predict axillary response.•Monitoring tumour size by imaging is useful to predict axillary response.•The axillary ultrasound during NAC showed the highest diagnostic performance.
