A preliminary study on the correlation between dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and blood stasis syndrome in breast cancer

Abstract

Objective To observe the correlation of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) appearances and blood stasis syndrome in breast cancer.Methods The clinical data of 100 patients with breast cancer confirmed by operation and pathology were retrospectively reviewed.70 cases without blood stasis syndrome,30 cases with blood stasis syndrome.All the cases underwent MRI using PHILIPS Achieva 1.5T magnetic resonance scanner before surgery.Results In no blood stasis group,76.67％ inhomogeneous enhancement,edge enhancement 43.33％,spiculation proportion 50.00％,which were significantly lower than those in the blood stasis group (88.57％,75.71％,83.33％).The mass ratio of the shape between the two groups had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).No blood stasis group and stagnation of blood group TIC curve was mainly type Ⅳ,type Ⅲ curve ratio of no blood stasis group (3.33％) was significantly lower than blood stasis group(12.86％) (P ＜0.01).In blood stasis group,Emax/1 and tumor size were higher than without blood stasis syndrome group.the percentage of V per minute outflow of blood stasis group was lower than without blood stasis syndrome group.Conclusion The clinician should make a preliminary evaluation of the prognosis before operation,in order to timely and reasonably choose the method of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
