A 45-year-old woman with 3.2 cm triple-negative breast cancer of the left breast following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). a Greyscale US image shows an irregular hypoechoic mass with indistinct margin. Strain elastography image demonstrates that the lesion was scored 4 before NAC. b The area ratio of this lesion before NAC are 107%. The strain ratio of this lesion before NAC are 8.76. c Strain elastography image demonstrates that the lesion was scored 3 after 2 cycles of NAC. d The strain ratio of this lesion after two cycles of NAC are 2.26. After surgery, pathological analysis found no residual cancer in the breast and sampled axillary lymph node. During 71 months of follow-up, there was no evidence of recurrence
