breast lesion

breast lesion

A generic term for a benign or malignant lump or bump in the breast.

Cancer risks by breast lesion
No proliferative disease; no increased cancer risk
• Apocrine change;
• Adenosis including florid;
• Duct ectasia;
• Mild epithelial hyperplasia of usual type.
 
Slight risk; 1.5–2-fold increase
• Hyperplasia of usual type, moderate or florid;
• Sclerosing adenosis, papilloma.

Moderate risk; 4–5-fold increase
• Atypical hyperplasia or borderline lesions;
• Atypical ductal hyperplasia or atypical lobular hyperplasia.
 
High risk; 8–10-fold increase
• Lobular carcinonoma in situ;
• Non-comedo DCIS.

However, before scheduling the patient for surgical excision in the operating room, every attempt should be made to determine, via percutaneous biopsy techniques (fineneedle aspiration cytology or core needle biopsy), whether the breast lesion is benign or malignant.

The addition of ShearWave Elastography features, such as maximum elasticity (stiffness) or heterogeneity (uniformity) of a lesion, to B-mode ultrasound, would permit an improvement in the BI-RADS([R])classification accuracy, (standardization tool for breast lesion classification from the American College of Radiology) improving breast diagnosis.

We then predict the benignity or malignancy of the breast lesion based on size of the lesion in the elasticity image compared to its size in the B-mode display.

In addition, a certain type of breast lesion, which in the past has been called "clinging carcinoma in situ," (1) is currently being encountered with increasing frequency in breast biopsies.

Because physicians treating women with breast cancer are particularly concerned about high-grade DCIS--the kind of breast lesion that is most likely to progress to invasive intraductal breast cancer--the researchers also performed an evaluation to determine which of the techniques had a higher sensitivity for diagnosing high-grade DCIS.
