Dr. Roy Alban Frank, Dr. Jnaneshwari Jayaram

Abstract :

 With the increasing awareness of east cancer, most women routinely do a self east examination. Most of the east lesions detected are benign ones and they simply cause a panic among the people .FNAC is routinely used to characterize these lesions is an invasive procedure. Mammogram is a non invasive technique and can give resuts similar to FNAC in diagnosing the east lesions. In view of the above we studied the role of mammogram screening high risk patients of east cancer Materials and methods : This study was done on 53 patients who were high risk candidates for east cancer.These patients underwent mammography and if a lesion was found it was radiologically divided into benign and malignant lesions and the findings were co – related with FNAC findings. Results and observations : In our study,out of 53 cases who underwent screening mammography , lesions were seen in 24 cases of which 4 were malignant and 20 were benign. Conclusion : In our study we found that screening mammography though detects lesions they have to be evaluated by FNAC
