To compare the mammogarphic appearance between breast cancer patients aged <40 and ≥40 years.
Needle localization and biopsy of suspicious mammographic lesions identified 1,959 breast carcinomas in a single institution from Jun 2012 to Apr 2013. According to the age, we divided patients into two groups: <40 and ≥40 years old, and analyzed mammographic appearance separately.
Young patients had 44.2% foci with calcification, but old patients only had 39.4% (P<0.001). In younger group, the ratios of cases according to mass density were 41.8% or higher, 58.2% equivalent and lower. In older group, the ratios were 55.5 % and 44.5%, respectively. There were statistical differences between high density and others (P<0.05). The ratios of cases according to mass margin were 13.9% circumscribed and microlobulated, 86.1% indistinct and spiculated in the younger group, as compared to 6.5% and 93.5%, respectively, in the older group (P<0.05).
Mammographic findings differ between young and old patients with breast cancer, for example regarding mass density, mass margin and microcalcification ratios.
比较年龄小于40岁和大于等于40岁的乳腺癌患者的乳房X线表现。
对2012年6月至2013年4月间在某单一机构通过针定位和活检确诊的1959例乳腺癌患者,根据年龄分为两组:小于40岁组和大于等于40岁组,并分别分析其乳房X线表现。
年轻患者中44.2%的病灶有钙化,而老年患者仅有39.4%(P<0.001)。在较年轻组中,根据肿块密度划分的病例比例为密度较高者占41.8%或更高,密度相当及较低者占58.2%。在老年组中,相应比例分别为55.5%和44.5%。高密度与其他情况之间存在统计学差异(P<0.05)。根据肿块边缘划分的病例比例,在较年轻组中边界清晰和微叶状的占13.9%,边界不清和毛刺状的占86.1%,而在老年组中分别为6.5%和93.5%(P<0.05)。
年轻和老年乳腺癌患者的乳房X线表现不同,例如在肿块密度、肿块边缘和微钙化比例方面。
