To retrospectively analyze and compare the ultrasonographic characteristics and BI-RADS-US classification between patients with BRCA1 mutation-associated breast cancer and those without BRCA1 gene mutation in Guangxi, China.
The study was performed in 36 lesions from 34 BRCA1 mutation-associated breast cancer patients. A total of 422 lesions from 422 breast cancer patients without BRCA1 mutations served as control group. The comparison of the ultrasonographic features and BI-RADS-US classification between two the groups were reviewed.
More complex inner echo was disclosed in BRCA1 mutation-associated breast cancer patients (x(2) = 4.741, P = 0.029). The BI-RADS classification of BRCA1 mutation-associated breast cancer was lower (U = 6094.0, P = 0.022).
BRCA1 mutation-associated breast cancer frequently displays as microlobulated margin and complex echo. It also shows more benign characteristics in morphology, and the BI-RADS classification is prone to be underestimated.
回顾性分析并比较中国广西地区携带BRCA1基因突变的乳腺癌患者与未携带BRCA1基因突变的乳腺癌患者的超声特征及美国放射学会(ACR)乳腺影像报告和数据系统(BI-RADS)超声分类。
对34例携带BRCA1基因突变的乳腺癌患者的36个病灶进行研究。选取422例未携带BRCA1基因突变的乳腺癌患者的422个病灶作为对照组。回顾性分析两组患者的超声特征及BI-RADS超声分类并进行比较。
携带BRCA1基因突变的乳腺癌患者内部回声更复杂(χ² = 4.741,P = 0.029)。携带BRCA1基因突变的乳腺癌患者的BI-RADS分类更低(U = 6094.0,P = 0.022)。
携带BRCA1基因突变的乳腺癌常表现为边缘微叶状及回声复杂。其在形态学上也表现出更多良性特征,且BI-RADS分类容易被低估。
