Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Assess the accuracy of the sequential measurements by 3D Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) for predicting histological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapyup to 32 months

Measure of the tumor prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (T0), at T1 and T2(1stand 2nd courses of anthracycline), at mid-treatment between anthracycline and taxane chemotherapy (Tmi), at the end of chemotherapy before surgery (Tfin).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
tumor volume changes under treatment by 3D ultrasoundup to 32 months

Estimate tumor volume changes under treatment by 3D ultrasound and Compare with measurements obtained by other conventional imaging methods currently used for monitoring patients under neoadjuvant chemotherapy

Compare changes in tumor elasticity under chemotherapy to variables obtained by other imaging modalities (Breast MRI) performed in clinical routineup to 32 months
Elastic properties before treatment (especially ratio between tumor and glandular breast or fat tissues close to the tumors)up to 32 months

Use technic Supersonic Shear Imaging.

Compare changes in tumor elasticity under neoadjuvant chemotherapy to changes in diffusion apparent coefficient by using technic Supersonic Shear Imaging (Explorer, Supersonic Imagine).up to 32 months
Compare changes in tumor volume to histological response (Gold Standard : surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy according to " Residual Cancer Burden " scoreup to 32 months
Compare tumor elasticity to conventional histological parameters6 weeks

For the additional biopsy (optional) under neoadjuvant chemotherapy at T2, correlation elastography to pathological parameters of peritumoral environment by analyzing conventional histological parameters.

Reliable early biomarker of histological response.up to 32 months

Estimate under chemotherapy if early changes in tumor's elasticity can provide a reliable early biomarker of histological response.

peritumoral environmental elasticity propertiesup to 32 months

Use technic Supersonic Shear Imaging (Explorer, Supersonic Imagine).

Compare predictive value (semi-quantitative et quantitative measurements) of tumor elasticityup to 32 months
Assess vascular shape and its evolution under treatment by Ultrasensitive Doppler technic "Ultra-Fast Doppler"up to 32 months
