Mammographic imaging features of breast cancer and its correlation with microvascular density
To investigate the mammographic imaging features of breast cancer and its correlation with microvascular density (MVD).
Methods
2
A total of 86 patients with breast cancer confirmed by surgical pathology in Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps 7th Division Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022 were selected as the research objects. According to the modified Bloom Richardson scoring system, the breast cancer patients were classified into histological grade Ⅰ (
n
=22), grade Ⅱ (
n
=25) and grade Ⅲ (
n
=39). All patients underwent preoperative mammographic imaging examination. Immunohistochemistry staining was performed and MVD count was conducted after operation.
Spearman
rank correlation was used to analyze the correlation between MVD of breast cancer with different histological grades and mammographic imaging features.
Results
2
The microvascular positive expression rate of breast cancer lesions was 100%,the MVD counts per visual field were 14~276 vessels, with an average of (72.58±16.37) vessels, of which the MVD counts of patients with histological grade Ⅰ to Ⅱ were 14 to 175 vessels, with an average of (42.10±13.51) vessels; the MVD counts of patients with histological grade Ⅲ was 22~276 vessels, with an average of (93.82±22.17) vessels. The MVD counts of patients with histological grade Ⅲ was significantly higher than that of patients with histological grade Ⅰ to Ⅱ,with statistically significant difference (
t
=19.627,
P
<
0.001).The
incidences of irregular margin, spicular sign, axillary lymph node metastasis and fine particle calcification in patients with histological grade Ⅲ were higher than those in patients with histological grade Ⅰ to Ⅱ, with statistically significant difference (
P
<
0.05). The MVD counts of breast cancer patients with irregular margin, spicular sign, axillary lymph node metastasis and fine particle calcification were higher than those of patients with smooth margin and without spicular sign,axillary lymph node metastasis or fine particle calcification,which was positively correlated with histological grades (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Some mammographic imaging features of breast cancer can reflect tumor angiogenesis to a certain extent,which can provide important reference for the treatment and prognosis of the disease,with certain clinical value.
