“…Since tumor growth and invasion rely greatly on fibrosis through a whole series of regulating factors, it is reasonable to understand the increase of tissue stiffness both in the tumor and its metastatic LNs. Lymphoma in our study exhibited a medium level of both E Median and Vs Median values, which is in line with previous studies (24,28). However, Yang et al an Emax value of 66 kPa for cervical metastatic LN, which was lower than our study.…”

“…In our study, both the E Median and Vs Median of malignant LNs (metastatic LNs and lymphoma) were remarkably higher than that of benign ones, and those of metastatic LNs were among the highest, which share similarities with previous studies (23)(24)(25). Since the invasiveness of malignancy may lead to the deposited extracellular matrix and cross-linked collagen to finally affect the stiffness of tissue growth (21,26), besides, calcification and inflammation of lesions may also elevate tissue stiffness (27).…”

“…With the rich development of ultrasound technology, the diagnostic capability of ultrasound is further improved. Multimodal ultrasound mode is proposed, that is, the joint application of multiple ultrasound technologies makes a single technology complementary [ 15 ]. In an ultrasound examination, the assessment of the scope of the lesion requires the physician's visual observation, but often there is an error.…”
