Abstract

In cases with breast cancer, probably benign lesions can also be seen in the other areas of the breast. It is known that neoadjuvant chemotherapy causes morphological changes in the normal breast tissue and the benign lesions, in addition to effects on malignant mass.
In cases with complete response with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, probably benign lesions without tissue diagnosis cause a dilemma in the breast conserving surgery plan, when they shrink or disappear at the end of the treatment. We aimed to demonstrate the effects of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in cases with probably benign breast lesions via dynamic contrast enhanced breast MRI.

Neoadjuvan kemoterapinin olası benign meme lezyonları üzerindeki etkilerinin MRG ile değerlendirilmesi: İki olgu sunumu

Year 2022, Volume: 61 Issue: 2, 298 - 301, 13.06.2022

Abstract

Meme kanseri olgularında memenin diğer bölgelerinde de olası benign lezyonlar görülebilir. Neoadjuvan kemoterapinin malign kitle üzerindeki etkilerinin yanı sıra normal meme dokusunda ve benign lezyonlarda morfolojik değişikliklere neden olduğu bilinmektedir.
Neoadjuvan kemoterapi ile tam yanıt alınan olgularda, tedavi öncesi doku tanısı konulmamış olası benign lezyonlar tedavi sonunda küçüldüğünde veya kaybolduğunda meme koruyucu cerrahi planında ikilem yaratmaktadır. Bu olgu sunumunda olası benign meme lezyonu olan iki olguda neoadjuvan kemoterapinin etkilerini dinamik kontrastlı meme MRG ile göstermeyi amaçladık.
