“…Obviously, conclusively benign FNA or CNB diagnoses obviate the need for excisional biopsy, provided that imaging and examination are concordantly benign, [4,37,38] and reducing redundant surgeries is in fact one of the major goals in breast care. [39] Similarly, conclusive FNA or CNB decrease the number of surgical procedures in malignant lesions.…”

“…[1,2] This diagnostic work-up precludes standard excisional biopsy when all three components of the triple assessment are conclusively positive (~100% probability of malignancy) or conclusively negative (~100% probability of a benign lesion). [3][4][5] Cytological and histological specimens are conventionally diagnosed as "inadequate", "benign", "atypical", "suspicious", or "malignant" ( Table 1). The diagnostic value of a needle biopsy depends on whether it yields a decisive and accurate diagnosis.…”

Choroby gruczołu piersiowego dotyczą wszystkich grup wiekowych. W populacji dorosłych dominują zachorowania na nowotwory złośliwe, natomiast u dzieci i młodzieży występują zmiany o charakterze wad rozwojowych, torbieli i nowotworów łagodnych. Zachorowania na nowotwory złośliwe piersi w wieku poniżej 25 lat są rzadkością, ale mimo sporadycznego występowania stanowią poważny problem, ponieważ charakteryzują się większą biologiczną agresywnością i obarczone są poważ -nym rokowaniem. Problematyka dotycząca schorzeń piersi u młodzieży i młodych dorosłych jest obecnie mało znana, a postępowanie diagnostyczno--terapeutyczne niejednokrotnie nastrę -cza wiele trudności ze względu na brak jednolitych standardów. Autorzy przedstawiają aktualne poglądy na temat diagnostyki zmian w obrębie piersi u pacjentów w wieku rozwojowym i propozycję algorytmu postępowania diagnostycznego.Słowa kluczowe: schorzenia piersi, mło -dzież, algorytm.

“…Various combinations of these approaches have been studied and have been found to increase the sensitivity and specificity over that of any one test alone. Many diagnostic tools are used in cases of suspected breast cancer as the famous triple assessment which was described in 1975 (1) and it reduces dramatically the use of open biopsy. (1) (2) It was used principally for evaluating palpable breast lumps.…”

BACKGROUNDBreast lumps are an enormous source of anxiety to patients and a stratified approach has to be adopted to properly evaluate and treat them. An efficient and accurate evaluation can maximise cancer detection and minimise unnecessary testing and procedures. The present study is a sincere attempt to analyse different diagnostic modalities. For most diagnoses, all that is needed is an ounce of knowledge, an ounce of intelligence, and a pound of thoroughness."
