In this manuscript, we review the current progress of utilizing ultrasound-guided diffuse optical tomography (US-guided DOT) for predicting and monitoring neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) outcomes of breast cancer patients. We also report the recent advance on optical tomography systems toward portable and robust clinical use at multiple clinical sites. The first patient who has been closely monitored before NAC, at day 2, day 8, end of first three cycles of NAC, and before surgery is given as an example to demonstrate the potential of US-guided DOT technique.
在本手稿中,我们回顾了利用超声引导下的漫射光学断层扫描(US-guided DOT)预测和监测乳腺癌患者新辅助化疗(NAC)疗效的当前进展。我们还报告了光学断层扫描系统在多个临床地点实现便携式和稳健临床应用方面的最新进展。以首例在新辅助化疗前、第2天、第8天、新辅助化疗前三个周期结束时以及手术前进行密切监测的患者为例,展示了US-guided DOT技术的潜力。
