The analysis of X-ray manifestations and clinical pathology in triple negative breast cancer / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the X-ray characteristics of triple negative breast cancer(TNBC)for improving the diagnostic level.Methods 105 cases of TNBC which confirmed by pathology and immunohistochemistry were analyzed their X-ray performance and clinical pathology.Results (1)The main pathologic types of TNBC was infiltrating ductal carcinoma(64 cases,61.0%),secondly was medullary carcinoma(24 cases,22.9%).(2)The X-ray manifestations of this group were mainly the mass shape(78.1 %).Nearly half of them had clear edge(46.3%).And 24.4% were tumor with calcification.(3)The calcification in TNBC was rare and the distribu-tion mainly for regional or cluster,while the morphology was mainly for malignant and suspicious for malignancy.(4)The X-ray per-formance characteristics of infiltrating ductal carcinoma and medullary carcinoma in TNBC had differences in tumor morphology and edge(P <0.05).Conclusion (1)The X-ray manifestations were always the circular similarity of tumor with clear edge in TNBC.(2) The proportion of medullary carcinoma is larger in TNBC,and the X-ray manifestations is more likely show as benign lesions.(3) The calcification probability is lower in TNBC,and the calcification form is mainly as suspicious for malignancy and malignant.
