Evaluation of Diagnostic Accuracy of Triple Assessment in Palpable Breast Lumps: A Comparative Study of Clinical, Radiological, and Histopathological Methods

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This prospective observational study investigates the diagnostic accuracy of the triple assessment (clinical examination, radiological evaluation, and histopathological analysis) for palpable breast lumps in females. Utilizing data collected from 100 patients over three years (2020-2023), the study assesses the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of each diagnostic method and compares them against histopathological evaluation (HPE). Results show high diagnostic concordance, supporting the triple assessment’s efficacy in detecting malignancy. This study aims to reinforce the use of triple assessment for early and accurate diagnosis of breast lumps, ultimately aiding in precise treatment planning.
