Estimated breast cancer risk and screening outcomes among premenopausal women with non-cyclic mastalgiaSzacowane ryzyko raka sutka oraz wyniki badań skriningowych u przedmenopauzalnych kobiet z niecykliczną mastalgią p=0.0002; p=0.002; Gail lifetime risk: 8.98 ± 3.6% vs. 9.6 ± 3.9%, p=0.015; p=0.045). Radiological and clinical outcomes were comparable between the groups.
Material and methods: 112 premenopausal women with non-cyclic breast pain and 182 control women who presented for prophylactic examination were screened with mammography and ultrasound. Breast cancer risk estimated with the Gail and Tyrer-Cuzick models along with screening outcomes were compared between the groups.
Results: Premenopausal patients with mastalgia had lower estimated breast cancer risk than controls. The difference was observed with both the Gail and Tyrer-Cuzick models
Conclusions:Breast pain was associated with lower estimated breast cancer risk but had no effect on screening outcomes in the study population.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
