Abstract

SUMMARY


Purpose: Evaluate value of combined mammography and ultrasound in diagnosis of breast cancer in women under 40 years old.
Material and method: Performed in 122 women under 40 years old, from May 2012 to September 2013 at Bach Mai
hospital and Oncology hospital. Writen records were reviewed for mammography and ultrasound with BI-RADS assessment and histological results. We calculated the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of mammography and ultrasound with mammography or ultrasound invidual and combined these methods with the gold standand of pathological results.
Result: Among 122 patients, there are 69 primary breast cancer patients and 53 benign mass patients. The sensitivity,
specificity and accuracy of mammography were: 72,5%; 94,3%; 81,9%. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of ultrasonography were: 81,2%; 81,1%; 81,1%. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of combine of mammography and ultrasonography were: 91,3%; 79,2%; 86,1%.
Conclusion: The combine of mammography and ultrasonography  provide a high diagnostic breast cancer in women younger under 40 years old.
