Breast biopsy is a common procedure for which few age-specific, population-based data are available. We identified all women who underwent breast biopsy in Rhode Island in 1989 by reviewing the specimen logs at each of 13 pathology laboratories. Among 425,000 women aged 15-97 years, 2685 underwent breast biopsy, for an overall rate of 6/1000. The rate increased with age, peaking among 45- to 54-year-olds and then declining in women over 75. Among those biopsied, 726 were diagnosed with breast cancer, for an overall biopsy positivity of 27%. In contrast to rate, positivity increased steadily with age. These results are within the range of estimates produced by smaller group studies.
乳房活检是一项常见的检查，但针对特定年龄、基于人群的数据却很少。我们通过查阅罗德岛州13家病理实验室的标本记录，确定了1989年在该州接受乳房活检的所有女性。在42.5万名年龄在15至97岁的女性中，有2685人接受了乳房活检，总体比率为千分之六。该比率随年龄增长而上升，在45至54岁的女性中达到峰值，然后在75岁以上的女性中下降。在接受活检的人中，有726人被诊断出患有乳腺癌，总体活检阳性率为27%。与比率不同的是，阳性率随年龄稳步上升。这些结果在较小规模研究得出的估计范围内。
