Clinical examination and mammography are crucial for diagnosing breast cancer. Combining both methods improves accuracy, ensuring timely histological or cytological examination when cancer is suspected.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Context:

  • Study involved 439 patients with suspected breast cancer over one year.
  • Clinical examination was performed on all patients.
  • Mammography and biopsy were utilized for diagnostic purposes.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of clinical examination and mammography in suspected breast cancer cases.
  • To determine the necessity of combining clinical assessment with mammography for accurate diagnosis.
  • To establish guidelines for further investigation when breast cancer cannot be ruled out.

Summary:

  • Out of 439 patients, 37 (8.7%) were diagnosed with breast cancer.
  • Mammography revealed cancer in 4 patients with no clinical suspicion.

  • Mammography alone had false negatives; clinical diagnosis identified cancers missed by imaging.
  • Combined clinical and mammographic assessment is essential.
  • Histological or cytological examination is recommended when cancer is suspected but not definitively ruled out.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the complementary roles of clinical breast exams and mammography.
    • Emphasizes the importance of histological or cytological confirmation for definitive diagnosis.
    • Informs clinical practice for optimizing breast cancer detection strategies.
