Lymph Node Predictive Model with in Vitro Ultrasound Features for Breast Cancer Lymph Node Metastasis
Ultrasound diagnosis of axillary lymph nodes has the advantages of ease, convenience and low cost; however, most previous studies evaluated lymph node metastasis of the entire axilla rather than the association between the ultrasound features of a single lymph node and its pathology. This prospective study was performed to explore the ultrasound features of lymph nodes observed in bionic medium in vitro and to develop a lymph node-specific model for prediction of metastasis based on analysis of the association between the ultrasound features and pathology of each lymph node.
