Abstract
Breast cancer, as the most common malignant tumor in women worldwide, has become the focus of global attention. Axillary lymph node tumor burden is an important prognostic indicator of it. Ultrasound is the most commonly used imaging method, but its sensitivity is not high, especially for the diagnosis of small and micro lymph node metastasis. In recent years, the emerging Radiomics in machine learning field has been widely used in the field of medical imaging. Because it can extract high-level information of images that is difficult to be recognized by human eyes, it has been used to establish clinical prediction models. This paper introduced the value of preoperative sonography, sketched Radiomics, and summarized the research progress of this method in predicting lymph node metastasis of breast cancer. This new method is expected to provide a reliable basis for individualized and accurate diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.
