Fig. 3From: Prediction model of axillary lymph node status using automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) and ki-67 status in early-stage breast cancerA ABUS image of 51-year-old woman in stage II (MD = 3.1 cm) breast cancer with ALNM. The coronal view shows proper nipple position (yellow point). ABUS detected a big hypoechoic lesion (arrows) on outer quadrant in the left breast with irregular shape, lobulated margin, posterior feature enhancement and positive hyperechoic halo. B, C, D, E ER ( +), PR ( +), HER-2 (3 +), ki-67 = 80%; (scale bar = 100 μm, × 200). The model predicted that the lesion probably has ALNM (p = 0.75). ABUS = Automated breast ultrasound, MS was Lumina B. MD = maximum diameter, MS = molecular subtype, ALNM = axillary lymph node metastasis. ER = estrogen-receptor, PR = progesterone-receptor, HER-2 = human epidermal growth factor receptor 2Back to article page
