Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) is one of the subgroups of invasive breast cancer. The treatment of LABC is neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) before surgery, which is different from the others. The study aimed to analyze and compare the characteristics of conventional ultrasound, contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) and strain elastography (SE) in LABC patients who have different treatment outcomes, and to provide help for LABC in the imaging diagnosis and clinic treatment.
