To review the efficacy of stereotactic breast biopsies performed at the North Shore Hospital.
Out of 118 consecutive biopsies carried out between 1992 and 1998, performed on impalpable lesions found on routine mammography, 102 with adequate follow-up data were reviewed, with particular regard to the sensitivity and accuracy of the technique in the diagnosis of breast cancer. The techniques and equipment employed are described.
The results were comparable to those described in the literature, with a sensitivity of 88.9%, specificity of 97.6% and overall accuracy of 97.1%. The procedure was found to be well-tolerated by patients.
The method was found to be accurate, safe and inexpensive.
回顾北岸医院进行的立体定向乳腺活检的疗效。
在1992年至1998年期间连续进行的118例活检中，对常规乳房X线摄影发现的不可触及病变进行活检，对其中102例有充分随访数据的病例进行回顾，特别关注该技术在乳腺癌诊断中的敏感性和准确性。描述了所采用的技术和设备。
结果与文献中描述的结果相当，敏感性为88.9%，特异性为97.6%，总体准确率为97.1%。发现该程序患者耐受性良好。
该方法准确、安全且成本低廉。
