Brief Summary: This study intends to assess the ability of contrast-enhanced ultrasound to make the efficacy of chemotherapy in breast cancer precise

This real-time noninvasive and feasible imaging technique allows us the investigators at University Hospital Tours to evaluate early vascular changes of breast tumors during treatment These vascular changes may precede long-term tumoral regression Imaging of primary breast lesions may be of value in the prediction of late treatment response

An ultrasound will be performed before the initiation and after the second and the last dose of chemotherapy

To investigate the changes occurring in the vascularization of tumors we will use an intravascular ultrasound contrast agent SonoVue sulphur hexafluoride microbubbles

This agent is a microbubbles preparation that is stable resistant to pressure and specifically designed to be used as a contrast agent for ultrasound imaging of angiogenesis
Detailed Description: The main objective of the study is to evaluate the early vascular changes of the tumor during neoadjuvant chemotherapy compared to the clinical or MRI or histological response
