    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Increasing breast cancer mortality in Japan linked to lifestyle changes.
    • Early detection and primary prevention are key for managing breast cancer.
    • Mammography and ultrasonography are common diagnostic imaging techniques for breast cancer.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate and compare the diagnostic reliability of mammography and ultrasonography for breast cancer.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of these imaging modalities in detecting breast cancer in Japanese outpatients.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 752 outpatients at Aichi Cancer Center Hospital.
    • Diagnostic performance evaluation of mammography and ultrasonography in 251 confirmed breast cancer cases.
    • Comparison of imaging results with surgical expertise.

    Main Results:

    • Mammography demonstrated a sensitivity of 89.2%, specificity of 92.6%, and accuracy of 91.5%.
    • Ultrasonography showed a sensitivity of 84.9%, specificity of 88.9%, and accuracy of 87.5%.
    • Both imaging techniques outperformed experienced surgeons (86.9% sensitivity, 85.3% specificity, 85.8% accuracy), particularly for impalpable tumors.

    Conclusions:

    • Mammography and ultrasonography are highly reliable diagnostic tools for breast cancer detection.
    • These imaging modalities offer superior diagnostic accuracy compared to palpation by experienced surgeons, especially for non-palpable lesions.
    • The findings support the continued use and advancement of breast imaging technologies for early breast cancer diagnosis.
