There was a positive correlation between CEA levels and CA 15-3 levels and patient prognosis. Thus, the levels of these tumor markers may help to determine prognosis in breast cancer patients.
RF ablation is a safe and promising minimally invasive treatment for small breast carcinomas with pathological tumor size ≤ 2 cm in diameter and without EIC.
These findings suggest that CE-CT based on size criteria is useful for evaluating the preoperative axillary status of breast cancer patients, but that evaluation is more difficult and the sensitivity is reduced in patients who have received NAC.
The classification of tumors into either localized or diffuse types, using CE-CT before NAC administration, accurately predicts which tumors will be suitable candidates for BCT after NAC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
