Assessment of breast cancer response using imaging

In this video, Dr Leora Sweidan, radiologist and breast imaging specialist, explains how radiological imaging can help evaluate the response of breast cancer tumours to chemotherapy. She discusses the different types of imaging modalities, such as mammography, ultrasound and MRI, and how they can provide useful information about the size, shape and characteristics of the tumours before, during and after treatment. She also reviews the criteria and challenges for assessing tumour response and the implications for clinical decision making.
