Pathological and radiological assessment of benign breast lesions with BIRADS IVc/V subtypes. should we repeat the biopsy?
This study highlights key findings regarding the sonographic imaging descriptors and histopathological diagnoses of benign breast lesions categorised as BIRADS IVc/V. The study recommends a correlation between clinical and radiological findings and encourages multidisciplinary decision-making among radiologists, pathologists, and clinicians to determine if a repeat biopsy is warranted. There is a need for continuous research to improve the diagnosis and treatment of breast lesions and reduce false-positive rates by incorporating other methodologies such as sonoelastography and incorporating deep learning and artificial intelligence in the decision-making to eliminate unnecessary procedures.
