The development and application of this technology in breast, has allowed describing the elasticity of the breast lesions detected in B mode. It was probe that the elastografhy ultrasound has given prognostic information and the response of the neoadjuvant therapy, it was allowing the breast cancer considered like heterogeneous disease. The objective of this work is to test validity of the elastograghy ultrasound in the diagnostic to breast cancer and to avoid the unnecessary biopsies.
