Abstract

Diagnostic value of ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in breast cancer were investigated. One hundred and forty breast cancer patients diagnosed in Heping Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from June 2016 to June 2018 were collected, used as breast cancer group, 80 patients with benign breast tumor in the same period were the benign group. Pathological results were used to compare the diagnostic coincidence of US and MRI in breast cancer patients. The positive expression case rates of estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor were significantly higher in breast cancer group than those in benign group, but that of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2) was significantly lower in breast cancer group than that in benign group (all P<0.05). The sensitivity (SEN) of MRI alone and that of US combined with MRI were higher than that of US alone (P<0.05). The specificity (SPE) of MRI alone was lower than that of US alone and US combined with MRI (P<0.05). The NPV of US combined with MRI was significantly higher than that of US alone (P<0.05). The Youden index (YI) of US combined with MRI was significantly higher than that of US alone and MRI alone. In the diagnosis of N2, that of US combined with MRI was significantly higher than those of US alone and MRI alone (P<0.05). In stages of M0 and M1 among three methods, those of MRI alone and US combined with MRI were higher than that of US alone (P<0.05). US combined with MRI for the diagnosis of breast cancer has higher SEN and SPE, with better accuracy rate for the identification of each stage. Reducing the incidence of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis that may be caused by single diagnosis and treatment, it is conducive to clinical screening and guiding clinical symptomatic treatment.
