Introduction Brest cncer is gynecologicl mlignnt tumor cused by hormone secretion imblnce, nutritionl imblnce, virl stimultion, rdition fctors nd genetic bckground (1). As socil life rhythm ccelertes nd working methods chnge, the incidence of brest cncer hs incresed yer by yer, which hs lredy rnked first in the incidence of femle mlignnt tumors, seriously thretening women's physicl nd mentl helth. The clinicl mnifesttions of brest cncer re minly ornge-like chnges in the skin nd contour of the brest, with lumps in the brest, nipple dischrge nd swollen lymph nodes (2). Its erly cure rte is extremely high, so erly detection nd erly dignosis re very importnt for its prognosis. Moreover, different stges of brest cncer re treted differently. Therefore, the ccurte dignosis of different stges is lso very importnt for brest cncer tretment. With the development nd improvement of imging technologies such s ultrsound (US) nd mgnetic resonnce imging (MRI), imging methods hve plyed n incresingly importnt role in the dignosis of brest cncer (1,3). At present, TNM stging is the min stging method of brest cncer (4). Currently, physicl mens, physicl exmintion nd molybdenum plldium re minly used for stging cliniclly, with not enough sensitivity (5). Both US nd MRI re commonly used imging methods for the erly dignosis nd stging of brest cncer. There re studies on the clinicl vlue of MRI combined with US in the dignosis of brest cncer stging, but most studies re on T stging, with few studies on N nd M stging (6,7). Therefore, in this study, the dignostic vlue of US combined with MRI in the T, N nd M stging of brest cncer ws nlyzed, in order to provide more effective, sensitive nd ccurte detection progrm for the erly dignosis nd ccurte stging, improving the efficcy of ptients' subsequent tretment nd the prognoses. Ptients nd methods Reserch subjects. A totl of 140 brest cncer ptients dignosed in Heping Hospitl Affilited to Chngzhi Medicl College (Chngzhi, Chin) from June 2016 to June 2018 were
2 2 PAN nd JI: ULTRASOUND COMBINED WITH MRI IN BREAST CANCER collected, studied s the brest cncer group, 80 ptients with benign brest tumor treted in Heping Hospitl Affilited to Chngzhi Medicl College in the sme period were the benign group. Tumor size, brest cncer clssifiction nd other tumor lesions nd the dignosis of brest cncer re subject to pthologicl results. Inclusion criteri of the brest cncer group were: those confirmed s brest cncer by pthology; femles >18 yers old; those who signed the informed consent form. Exclusion criteri of the brest cncer group were: those with severe fungl bcteril virus infections; those with other severe bsic diseses such s hert, liver nd kidney; those with mentl illness nd mentl disorders; MRI nd US contrindictions; pregnnt or lctting women; those with incomplete clinicl dt; those unstisfied with US nd MRI exmintion imges cquired; those with incomplete pthologicl histologicl dt; those who hd received ny brest cncer-relted tretment within 3 months. Inclusion criteri of the benign group were: those with clinicl symptoms such s pinless lump, nipple dischrge nd nipple chnge; those dignosed s benign brest tumor by pthology nd clinicl plption; femles >18 yers old; those who signed the informed consent form. Exclusion criteri of the benign group were: those with severe fungl bcteril virus infections; those with other severe bsic diseses such s hert, liver nd kidney; those with mentl illness nd mentl disorders; MRI nd US contrindictions; pregnnt or lctting women; those with incomplete clinicl dt; those unstisfied with US nd MRI exmintion imges cquired; those with incomplete pthologicl histologicl dt. This study hs been pproved by the Ethics Committee of Heping Hospitl Affilited to Chngzhi Medicl College. Exmintion time. The brest lump tissue ws surgiclly resected for pthologicl exmintion, nd US nd MRI were performed t 1 week before opertion. US, MRI nd the combintion of the two were used to confirm the dignosis of brest cncer, nd then the TNM stging ws perform of the confirmed pthology. US exmintion. The Antres US dignostic pprtus (Beijing Orientl Mirun Medicl Devices Co., Ltd., Beijing, Chin) hs probe frequency of 8-15 MHz. The two-dimensionl US ws used to first investigte the shpe, size, mrgin, internl posterior echo nd internl clcifiction of the lesion for judging benign nd mlignnt ccording to the BI-RADS stndrd. The Color Doppler Flow Imging (CDFI) ws used to observe the blood flow distribution inside nd round the lesion, with blood flow resistnce index (RI) of mlignnt lesions of Either the two-dimensionl US or CDFI detected the lesion s mlignnt nd tht ws dignosed s brest cncer. MRI exmintion. A 5T mgnetic resonnce scnner (Shenzhen Siemens Mgnetic Resonnce Co., Ltd., Shenzhen, Chin) nd bilterl brest surfce coil were used in MRI, with contrst gent s gdodimide injection (Shnghi Generl Electric Phrmceuticl Shnghi Co., Ltd., Shnghi, Chin; SFDA pprovl number: J ). MRI scn ws used to observe the shpe, mrgin nd internl structure of the tumor, nd brest cncer scn showed more lobulted or burr signs. The low signl of T1WI nd high signl of T2WI, with uneven Tble I.

Discussion In recent yers, s its incidence occurs t younger ge nd mortlity hs grdully incresed, brest cncer hs become the number one killer thretening femle helth (9,10). Clinicl fetures of erly brest cncer re typicl, with high misdignosis nd missed dignosis rtes, so most of brest cncer ptients re in the dvnced stge when dignosed. At present, there is no cler nd effective primry prevention method. Therefore, the erly detection nd ccurte preopertive stging nd tretment of brest cncer re crucil to improve the prognosis (11,12). Mny studies hve been reported on the vlue of US combined with MRI detection in brest cncer stging, but most of them only focus on T stging nd dignosis efficiency, few only on N nd M stging (13). Therefore, in this study, the dignostic vlue of US combined with MRI in the T, N nd M stging of brest cncer ws nlyzed, in order to provide more effective, sensitive nd ccurte detection progrm for the erly dignosis nd ccurte stging, improving the efficcy of ptients' subsequent tretment nd the prognoses. The positive expression cse rtes of ER nd PR were significntly higher in brest cncer group thn those in benign group, but tht of Her-2 ws significntly lower in brest cncer group thn tht in benign group. This is consistent with the findings of Li et l (14), in the study of ER, PR nd HER-2 expression in brest cncer nd their reltionship with tumor stging nd lymph node metstsis. ER, PR nd HER-2 re importnt indictors for judging the prognosis of the ptient. In the evlution of brest cncer T stging, US, MRI nd US combined with MRI hd coincidence rtes of 100% in the evlution of T4. The coincidence rtes of MRI lone nd US combined MRI in the dignosis of T2 were significntly higher thn tht of US lone, with no sttisticlly significnt difference in other stges. The ccurcy of MRI nd US for tumor lesion nd tumor size in newly dignosed non-high-risk brest cncer ptients ws compred by Segr et l (15). The

Among molybdenum plldium, US nd MRI, brest cncer size is the most ccurte when mesured by MRI (15). In the evlution of brest cncer N stging, the coincidence rtes of MRI lone nd US combined with MRI were higher thn tht of US lone in the evlution of N0. In the dignosis of N2, tht of US combined with MRI ws significntly higher thn those of US lone nd MRI lone. In stge N2, the ipsilterl xillry lymph nodes of brest cncer ptients were swollen, fused to ech other nd even dhered to other tissues. Therefore, the key point in the exmintion is to judge the brest lymph node metstsis nd the orgn invsion round the brest. MRI soft tissue hs high resolution nd high field NMR. It cn be multi-sequence nd multi-ngle imging, more ccurte for observing brest lymph nodes nd brest circumference. Nevertheless, there re still some difficulties in identifying smller lymph nodes. After the use of developer, identifying the site nd shpe of the primry lesion, US cn lso evlute the obvious contrst effect between the strong echogenic surfce produced by ultrsound shdow gent nd the brest structure nd the tissue round the brest, so s to significntly improve the imge qulity nd better observe brest conditions. However, the xillry lymph in the stge of N2 fuse with ech other nd even dhere to other tissues, cusing certin degree of interference to coustic shdow, so US exmintion hs certin difficulties (16,17). In stges of M0 nd M1 mong the three methods, the coincidence rtes of MRI lone nd US combined with MRI were higher thn tht of US lone, nd tht of MRI lone ws not significntly different from tht of US combined with MRI. Clerly displying the locl irregulr thickening of the brest, MRI cn determine whether there is tumor invsion nd liver metstsis outside the brest, nd tumor recurrence. US for observing the hierrchicl structure of the brest cn determine the depth of lesion invsion nd lymph

In summry, US combined with MRI for the dignosis of brest cncer hs higher SEN nd SPE, with better ccurcy rte for the identifiction of ech stge. Reducing the incidence of missed dignosis nd misdignosis tht my be cused by single dignosis nd tretment, it is conducive to clinicl screening nd guiding clinicl symptomtic tretment nd worthy of clinicl promotion.
