“…Further, it was reassuring as reported by Moy et al [2] that the false negative rate could be reduced to 2.6% by the addition of ultrasound. Ultrasound is a relatively simple, noninvasive directed examination of the breast.…”

“…The results of several studies [3,4,9,22,23] have demonstrated that the addition of ultrasound to mammography has raised the sensitivity of imaging in breast carcinoma to 94-97%. This in turn has resulted in debate as to the need to biopsy patients with normal mammography and normal ultrasound findings [23,24].…”

“…The contribution of mammography was impressively high in the detection of smaller cancers particularly in younger women (Baker, 1982). The likelihood of having breast cancer in negative mammography patients is low, approximately 2.6%-2.7% (Moy et al, 2002). A more recent report mentioned that the use of mammography results in a 25% to 30% decreased 3596 mortality rate in screened women compared with controls after 5 to 7 years (Ng and Muttarak, 2003).…”

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the practice and barriers of mammography and associated factors among Malaysian women in the general population. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 women in Shah Alam, Selangor; Malaysia. The questionnaire contained 27 questions and was comprised of two sections; socio-demographic characteristics and practices, knowledge and barriers of mammography. All the data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 13.0. Results: Of the 200 Malaysian women who participated in this study, the majority were under the age of 50 years (65.5%), Malay (86%), and married (94.5%). Regarding any family history of cancer in general, the majority of the participants had none (78%). However, some did report a close relative with breast cancer (16.5%). While the majority of them knew about mammography (68%), 15% had had a mammogram once in their life and only 2% had the procedure every two or three years. Univariate analysis showed that age, family history of cancer, family history of breast cancer, regular supplement intake, regular medical check-up and knowledge about mammogram were significantly associated with mammogram practice among the general population (p=0.007, p=0.043, P=0.015, p=0.01, p=0.001, p<0.001; respectively). Multivariate analysis using multiple linear regression test showed that age, regular medical check-up and knowledge about mammography testing were statistically associated with the practice of mammography among the general population in Malaysia (p=0.035, p=0.015 and p<0.001; respectively). Lack of time, lack of knowledge, not knowing where to go for the test and a fear of the test result were the most important barriers (42.5%, 32%, 21%, 20%; respectively). Conclusion: The practice of mammogram screening is low among Malaysian women.

Specificity of Mammography and US in the Evaluation of a Palpable Abnormality: Retrospective Review

Abstract: A negative mammographic and US finding of a palpable abnormality does not exclude breast cancer, but the likelihood of breast cancer is low, approximately 2.6%-2.7%. It may be higher if the breast tissues are dense and lower if they are predominantly fatty.
