Correlation Analysis of Conventional Ultrasound Characteristics and Strain Elastography with Ki-67 Status in Breast Cancer

Our objectives were to measure the relationships between conventional ultrasound features, strain elastography in breast cancer and Ki-67 index and to identify parameters that predict Ki-67 index. We included 181 lesions of 178 patients who underwent surgery for breast cancer at Xianyang Central Hospital. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, strain elastography and axillary-node metastasis showed significant Ki-67 index values; the overall theoretical prediction percentage correct was 75.7%.
