title: [Functional and early evaluation of treatments in oncology: interest of ultrasonographic contrast agents].
abstract: The early and functional evaluation of new treatments in oncology is a main goal. At present, technical advances in Doppler-ultrasonography allow the detection of neovascularization for superficial and deep malignant tumors in order to evaluate the efficiency of new treatments as Treatment response can be early predicted according to modifications of this vascularization before Volume modification. Contrast agents injection improves the efficiency of this technique and developments in perfusion softwares optimize this detection.
