[Significance of sonography of the breast for surgical treatment of breast cancer].
In a prospective study of 119 patients with breast carcinoma the value of ultrasonography for surgical therapy was compared with the value of clinical results and mammography. The tumor localization (in 96.8%) and the exact preoperative staging following the pTNM-system (tumor size in 85.8%, lymph node involvement in 77.2%) were better predicted by ultrasonography than by mammography and clinical examination. Especially the multicentric-multifocal carcinomas (20 of 29 cases) were better detected. Preoperative ultrasonography especially improves planning a conservative management of breast cancer.
