Changes in sonoelastography indices of stiffness as a criterion of evaluation of efficiency of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the capabilities of sonoelastography to monitor neoadjuvant chemotherapy of breast cancer and to determine correlation between reduction of stiffness of the tumor and the grade of pathology response.
