About this trial
The present study is designed to evaluate the role of simultaneous multi-modal sonographic tools-Ultrasound (US), Color Doppler Ultrasound (CDU), and Ultrasound Elastography (UE)-in determining the nature (benign or malignant) of axillary lymph nodes (ALNs) in patients with primary breast cancer. It aims to compare the diagnostic indices of each modality individually against their combined performance. Specifically, the study will assess whether adding UE to conventional gray-scale US and CDU improves diagnostic accuracy.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Evaluation of axillary LNs in Breast Cancer by Grey Scale Ultrasound
Evaluate axillary lymph nodes (LNs) in breast cancer patients using grey scale ultrasound to assess specific characteristics such as size, shape, and cortical thickening. Results will be compared to Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) or histopathology findings.
Time frame
Baseline2
Evaluation of axillary LNs in Breast Cancer by Color Doppler Ultrasound
Evaluate axillary lymph nodes (LNs) in breast cancer patients using color Doppler ultrasound to assess vascularity patterns. Results will be compared to FNAC or histopathology findings.
Time frame
Baseline3
Evaluation of axillary LNs in Breast Cancer by Elastography Ultrasound
Evaluate axillary lymph nodes (LNs) in breast cancer patients using elastography ultrasound to measure stiffness and elasticity. Results will be compared to FNAC or histopathology findings.
Time frame
Baseline4
Comparison of Multimodal Ultrasound Findings with Histopathology Results
Compare the findings from grey scale ultrasound, color Doppler ultrasound, and elastography ultrasound with histopathology results to assess diagnostic accuracy for evaluating axillary lymph nodes in breast cancer.
