Brief Answer:
Lack of vascularity may indicate improvement in lesion.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your feed back
Vascularity is an important factor in carcinoma.Due to carcinoma there is proliferation of new blood vessels(neo-vascularisation) and this is shown as increased vascularity in colour doppler study.
High vascularity in carcinoma lesions is generally a serious sign.
Lack of vascularity in interior region may indicate improvement in lesion but it is not a very specific sign.It is not confirmatory.
