Abstract
ARRUEL CARAVEO, Ludwig Isaac et al. Histological correlation in ultrasonography breast features by suction biopsy with thick-cut needle assisted. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.3, pp.251-256. Epub May 31, 2022. ISSN 1870-7203. https://doi.org/10.35366/95401.
Introduction:
In México, breast cancer is diagnosed on average at 53 years of age, which represents almost a decade less compared to other countries. Clinical studies have shown that mammography screening reduces breast cancer mortality by 24%.
Material and methods:
A retrospective study of concordance between diagnostic mammography and biopsy with thick-cut needle assisted by suction was performed.
Results:
870 cases were analyzed between 2005 and 2015; all patients evaluated had a BIRADS (Breast Imaging Report and Database System) 4 or 5 report, or clinical suspicion, cancer phobia or desire of the patient. We observed a sensivity 0.99, specificity 0.24, PPV 0.28, NPV 0.98 and accuracy 0.42, being much more accurate when dealing whit BIRADS 4C and 5 lesions, whose values were significantly better.
Conclusions:
The results that reported in this study show that diagnostic mammography has a high correlation with the histopathological result.
