回顾并分析2019年412月于深圳市人民医院经病理学检查证实的205例乳腺癌患者的临床、病理及术前乳腺X线摄影检查资料。根据第5版乳腺影像报告和数据系统(Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System,BI-RADS)中乳腺构成分类的标准,采用深度学习技术辅助放射科医师对MD进行评估,将a型(脂肪型)和b型(散在纤维腺体型)乳腺归为非致密组,c型(不均匀致密型)和d型(极度致密型)乳腺归为致密组,采用
To explore the correlation between mammographic density (MD) and the clinical and pathological metrics in breast cancer patients based on deep learning technology
in order to provide imaging evidence for individualized treatment and prognosis evaluation.
Methods:
The clinical
pathological and reoperative mammographic data of 205 cases of breast cancer confirmed by pathology from Apr. 2019 to Dec. 2019 were retrospectively analyzed in Shenzhen Peoples Hospital. According to the criteria for categories of breast composition in the 5th edition of Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS)
the D was evaluated by radiologist assisted by deep learning system. Type a (almost entirely fat) and type b (scattered fibroglandular dense) were included in non-dense group
type c (heterogeneously dense) and type d (extremely dense) were included in dense group.
2
test was used to compare the differences in clinical (age
menopausal status
family history) and pathological (tumor size
histological grade
lymph node status
nerve or vascular invasion
pathological type and immunohistochemical parameters) metrics between the two groups. Spearman test was used to analyze the correlation between MD
age and progesterone eceptor (PR) state.
Results:
Among the 205 patients
56 were in the non-dense group and 149 in the dense group. The differences in age and menopausal status between the two groups were statistically significant (
P
<0.001)
the MD of the younger age group and premenopausal women was higher than that it in the older age group and post-menopausal women
while the differences in family history were not statistically significant (
P
>0.05).There were tatistical differences in progesterone receptor (PR) status between the two groups (
P
<0.05)
PR positive expression rate of dense group (77.85%
116/149) was higher than the non-dense group (60.71%
34/56)
and the tumor size
histological grade
lymp
h node status
neural or vascular invasion status
pathological ype
estrogen receptor (ER) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and Ki-67 showed no significant differences (
P
>0.05); Spearman test howed MD was significantly negatively correlated with age (
r
=-0.481
P
<0.001) and positively correlated with PR expression (
r
=0.196
P
<0.05).
Conclusion:
The MD is correlated with age
menopausal status and PR status
and has a potential role in predicting the prognosis of breast cancer.
