Current approaches to diagnosing and treating idiopathic granulomatous mastitis: A summary from in-depth clinician interviews
This study reveals the complex nature of IGM diagnosis and treatment from clinicians in Singapore, Malaysia and Egypt. This underscores the need for more specific and definitive diagnostic tests, rather than relying on exclusionary methods, and standardised treatment guidelines. Multi-centre RCTs are essential for developing evidence-based protocols to improve patient outcomes and address regional differences effectively.
