[Breast parenchymal patterns and carcinoma risks (author's transl)].

M Kessler, O Fischedick

Rofo : Fortschritte Auf Dem Gebiete Der Rontgenstrahlen Und Der Nuklearmedizin

|April 1, 1980

Summary

Breast parenchymal patterns are not linked to carcinoma risk. Radiologists may miss cancers in women with patterns P2 and DY, not due to increased risk but detection difficulty.

Area of Science:

Radiology
Oncology
Medical Imaging

Background:

Wolfe's hypothesis suggested a link between breast parenchymal patterns and carcinoma risk.
Previous studies have yielded conflicting results regarding this correlation.
The P2 and DY patterns were identified by Wolfe as high-risk indicators.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the correlation between breast parenchymal patterns and breast carcinoma risk.
To validate or refute Wolfe's thesis using a larger dataset.
To explore potential reasons for discrepancies in previous findings.

Main Methods:

Analysis of 905 patient cases.
Evaluation of breast parenchymal patterns (P2 and DY).
Comparison of findings with Wolfe's original thesis and existing literature.

Main Results:

The study could not confirm Wolfe's thesis on breast parenchymal patterns and cancer risk.
Findings suggest Wolfe's results may have been influenced by case selection bias.
Women with P2 and DY patterns did not show an increased risk of carcinoma.

Conclusions:

The breast parenchymal patterns P2 and DY are not indicators of increased breast carcinoma risk.
The observed association in previous studies may be due to radiologists missing existing carcinomas in these patterns.
Further research is needed to understand detection challenges in specific breast parenchymal patterns.
