Imaging for the diagnosis and staging of IBC

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

The role of imaging in the diagnosis and assessment of inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) includes characterization of the known tumor, delineation of loco-regional disease extent in the ipsilateral and contralateral breasts and regional lymph node basins, diagnosis of distant metastases, and evaluation of response to neoadjuvant treatment. In this chapter, we review the role of conventional imaging modalities, including mammography and sonography, in the diagnosis and assessment of IBC. We also discuss the potential use of evolving imaging modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, and combined positron emission tomography and computed tomography, in patients diagnosed with IBC.
