title: [Decision aids in determining therapy of breast cancer by preoperative staging using sonography and computerized tomography].
abstract: In a prospective study the preoperative ultrasonography of 54 cases of carcinoma of the breast was able to predict the pTNM staging precisely in 83.3% for tumor size and in 72.3% for lymphnode metastases. Multicentric-multifocal carcinomas were diagnosed by ultrasonography in 10 of 13 patients, better than by mammography (6 of 13). The CAT scan is indicated only in advanced tumor stages. The preoperative staging by ultrasonography enables with more precision planning and differentiated therapy of the carcinoma of the breast, especially in view of breast-preserving therapy.
