Breast cancer classification divides breast cancer into categories according to different schemes criteria and serving a different purpose. The major categories are the histopathological type, the grade of the tumor, the stage of the tumor, and the expression of proteins and genes. As knowledge of cancer cell biology develops these ...
The assessment categories were initially developed for mammography and later adapted for use with MRI and ultrasound findings. The summary of each category, given below, is nearly identical for all three modalities. Category 6 was added in the 4th edition of the BI-RADS. BI-RADS assessment categories are: [2] 0: Incomplete; 1: Negative; 2: Benign
A breast mass, also known as a breast lump, is a localized swelling that feels different from the surrounding tissue. [1] Breast pain , nipple discharge , or skin changes may be present. [ 1 ] Concerning findings include masses that are hard, do not move easily, are of an irregular shape, or are firmly attached to surrounding tissue.
Like the triple test score, BI-RADS (breast imaging-reporting and data system) uses a similar method of scoring breast imaging reports to help with evaluating and determining treatment for breast masses. [8] Like the triple test score, BI-RADS employs a numerical scoring system to determine whether a mass is benign or malignant.
Stratification for breast cancer risk on a mammogram is based on a reporting system known as Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System , developed by the American College of Radiology in 1993. It has five general categories of findings: mass, asymmetry, architectural distortion, calcifications, and associated features.
[3] [4] It is also the most common form of breast cancer occurring in men, accounting for 85% of cases. [5] [6] The incidence of ductal carcinomas as a whole is 86.3 cases per 100,000 women, with the incidence increasing sharply for women over 40 years of age and peaking at 285.6 cases per 100,000 for women between 70 and 79.
