Background: Approximately 10% of breast masses are breast cancer. It is important for women with a breast lump to receive appropriate evaluation. Mammography has been the “gold standard” in breast cancer detection for >40 years. Ultrasonography is non-invasive easily available, cheaper and accurate tool while Fine needle aspiration cytology has a high diagnostic accuracy rate in hands of experienced cytopathologist. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective and prospective study of 173 women attending radiology department in Manipal Teaching Hospital, Pokhara for mammography during a period of 18 months from January 2011 to June 2012.The age ranged from 20yrs to 75yrs. BIRADS score was given for both mammography and sonomammography. All malignant and suspicious cases had undergone fine needle aspiration cytology. Cytology reports were correlated with imaging study. Results: The most common age group for the breast lump was 40-49 years showing 65(37.57%) cases. Most lumps were seen on the left side 54.3% (94/ 173) cases and were seen in upper outer quadrant of the breast (74 cases). 11 cases each were given the BIRADS score of 4 in both mammography and sonomammography. Sensitivity and specificity of mammography and sonomammography were compared to cytologyreports. The sensitivity for mammogram was 73.7% while specificity was 96.3%. The sensitivity and specificity for sonomammogram was 78.9% and 95% respectively. Conclusion: Quadruple assessment i.e. clinical assessment, mammography, sonomammography and cytological study are the new “gold standard” in the investigation of breast disease.

Cox's Model

The authors report on 315 histologically confirmed consecutive breast cancer (BC) cases undergoing fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). Inadequate smears were infrequent (7%), particularly when reaspiration of inadequate cases was employed (1–2%). FNAC suspected BC in 81% of the total or 88% of adequate smears. Univariate and multivariate (Cox's model) analyses showed no correlation between inadequacy or suspect/positive FNAC rate and patient age, T category or histologic type. Differences in the inadequacy and suspect/positive rate were recorded among 30 operators (surgeons, oncologists, radiologists) performing the sampling, but the average results were consistent with literature reports. FNAC was found to be a useful diagnostic tool for BC diagnosis, and proper training of the highest number of operators is recommended to allow the widest diffusion of this diagnostic technique.
