Summary
This study tested whether a 3D ultrasound technique called shear wave elastography can accurately predict how breast tumors respond to chemotherapy before surgery. Researchers measured tumor stiffness at several points during treatment in 140 women with locally advanced breast cancer. The goal was to see if this non-invasive method could replace or reduce the need for biopsies to assess treatment effectiveness.
