Overview
There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for [disease/malignancy].
OR
According to the [guideline name], screening for [disease name] is not recommended.
OR
According to the [guideline name], screening for [disease name] by [test 1] is recommended every [duration] among patients with [condition 1], [condition 2], and [condition 3].
Screening
The Screening methods of breast lesions[1]:
- Breast examination
- Self breast examination
- Although this is controversial, most clinicians recommend women to perform self examination monthly
- Clinical breast examination
- Women with age> 40 years is recommended for clinical breast examination annually
- Self breast examination
- Breast ultrasound
- whole breast ultrasound detects lesions in dense breast tissue which could not be diagnosed by mammography [2]
- Mammography
- Gold standard of screening
- Early detection of non-palpabale masses
- Regarding to 2013 NCCN guidelines annual screening in average risk women aged≥ 40 years
- Regarding to 2013 NCCN guidelines annual screening in high risk women from age of 25 years
- Sensitivity of 0.33-0.39 and specificity of 0.95
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Significant method for detection, assessment and management of breast cancer
- Sensitivity of 0.77-0.79 and specificity of 0.86-0.89
- Based on 2013 NCCN guidelines annual MRI for individuals with > 20% risk of developing breast cancer in lifetime starting at age of 25 years
- Beneficial modality in high risk individuals
- Valuable in individuals with equivocal results from other screening tests
- Usable for individuals with ineffective mammography results due to breast augmentation
