To compare the diagnostic accuracy of BIRADS score with histopathological findings in breast lump

Abstract

Background: Given that breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide and the leading cause of death for cancer patients, women who develop breast lumps need to be properly assessed and diagnosed. The prevalence of breast cancer is rising in India, where it has surpassed cervical cancer in all metropolitan cancer registries to become the most frequent cancer among women.Women with clinically examined breast lumps or suspicious symptoms are typically subjected to imaging tests such as mammography and ultrasound. Preoperative histopathological diagnosis and mammography (using breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) scoring system) constitute an essential part of the workup of breast lesions.The present study was aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of BIRADS score with histopathological findings in breast lump.
