ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical significance of early diagnosis and treatment of impal-pable breast tumor.Methods From Jan.2007 to Dec.2014, 570 patients with impalpable breast tumor were treated.Among them, 107 patients were found with breast nodules by ultrasound scan , 340 patients were found with nodules , calcification or distort gland structure and 123 patients were found with nipple discharge by mam-mography .They were biopsied with various methods such as wire localization guided by ultrasound , X-ray mam-mography and fiberoptic ductoscopy .All patients were treated routinely and followed up .Results The his-topathological examination results were as follows:134 cases of breast cancer (23.51%) and 436 cases of benign lesions.44 breast cancer patients were localized by ultrasound , 78 cases were localized by X-ray mammography, and 12 cases were localized by fiberoptic ductoscopy .All lesions were accurately localized and excised .During the two-year follow up, no recurrence or metastasis occurred .Conclusion Early diagnosis and treatment of im-palpable breast tumor can improve early diagnosis level of breast cancer .
