Diagnostic performance of Shear Wave Elastography and high-resolution ultrasound in non-melanoma skin cancer: a study of basal and squamous cell carcinomas
SWE and HRUS offer complementary, non-invasive tools for the diagnosis and preoperative assessment of BCC and SCC. SWE demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy for distinguishing NMSC from benign lesions, particularly nevi, by applying stiffness thresholds between 13-15 kPa. HRUS proved effective in estimating tumor length with good agreement to histopathology, though it showed a tendency to overestimate tumor depth.
