| Abstract: | Background We investigated the usefulness of the minimum ADC value of primary breast lesions for predicting axillary lymph node (LN) status in luminal A-like breast cancers with clinically negative nodes in comparison with the mean ADC. Methods Forty-four luminal A-like breast cancers without axillary LN metastasis at preoperative clinical evaluation, surgically resected with sentinel LN biopsy, were retrospectively studied. Mean and minimum ADC values of each lesion were measured and statistically compared between LN positive (n = 12) and LN negative (n = 32) groups. An ROC curve was drawn to determine the best cutoff value to differentiate LN status. Correlations between mean and minimum ADC values and the number of metastatic axillary LNs were investigated. Results Mean and minimum ADC values of breast lesions with positive LN were significantly lower than those with negative LN (mean 839.9 +/- 110.9 vs. 1022.2 +/- 250.0 x 10(- 6) mm(2)/s, p = 0.027, minimum 696.7 +/- 128.0 vs. 925.0 +/- 257.6 x 10(- 6) mm(2)/s, p = 0.004). The sensitivity and NPV using the best cutoff value from ROC using both mean and minimum ADC were 100%. AUC of the minimum ADC (0.784) was higher than that of the mean ADC (0.719). Statistically significant negative correlations were observed between both mean and minimum ADCs and number of positive LNs, with stronger correlation to minimum ADC than mean ADC. Conclusions The minimum ADC value of primary breast lesions predicts axillary LN metastasis in luminal A-like breast cancer with clinically negative nodes, with high sensitivity and high NPV. |
