ABSTRACT
Objective To study the diagnos tic value of mammography, color Dopp ler ultrasound and biopsy in early breast cancer and to evaluate its diagnostic accuracy. Methods 55 patients with breast cancer an d 25 patients with benign breast masses, proved pathologically, were checked by mammogra phy, color Doppler ultrasound and biopsy. Results Mammography demonstrated bre ast cancer in 45 cases, the sensitivity and specificity were 82.0% and 88.0%, re spectively, with the accuracy of 83.8%; Color Doppler ultrasound revealed breas t cancer in 43 cases, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 78.2%, 84 .0% and 80.0%; Biopsy demonstrated breast cancer in 53 cases, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 96.4%, 92.0% and 95.0%. When ultrasound, mammagrap hy and biopsy were combined together, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 98.2%, 96.0% and 97.5%. Conclusion Mammography, color Dopp ler ultrasound combined with biopsy can increase the diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy of ear ly breast cancers.
