| Core Tip |
Evaluating lymph node metastasis from malignant tumors is crucial because it significantly influences treatment planning and prognosis. Shear-wave elastography is a simple, noninvasive, and objective ultrasound method for measuring tissue stiffness. In this study, the hardness of lymph nodes removed during surgery for esophageal and gastric cancer was measured using shear-wave elastography and compared with the pathological examination. The sensitivity and specificity were 0.76 and 0.82, respectively, whereas the area under the curve was 0.74 (95% confidence interval: 0.69-0.84). Shear-wave elastography was useful in detecting lymph node metastases in the upper gastrointestinal tract. |
