Title
Usefulness of adjunction of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) to full-field digital mammography (FFDM) in evaluation of pathological response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for breast cancer
Abstract
We assessed the radiological findings and capability of DBT in adjunction to FFDM to predict response to NAC in comparison with other diagnostic modalities. 25 women (ages 29-73, mean age, 53.0 years old) having 26 lesions were recruited for this study and gave informed consent. In accordance with this preliminary study, the adjunction of DBT to FFDM combined with other diagnostic modalities will contribute to more accurate assessment of pathological response to NAC.
