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.
在一项前瞻性研究中，54例乳腺癌患者的术前超声检查能够精确预测肿瘤大小的pTNM分期，准确率为83.3%，预测淋巴结转移的准确率为72.3%。13例患者中有10例通过超声检查诊断为多中心-多灶性癌，优于乳房X线摄影（13例中有6例）。计算机断层扫描仅适用于晚期肿瘤阶段。术前超声检查进行分期能够更精确地规划和区分乳腺癌的治疗方案，尤其是考虑到保乳治疗。
