| Popis: | Background Breast cancer being the most common cause of cancer death among women, this study was planned to find out the effectiveness of FNAB (fine needle aspiration biopsy) as screening and diagnostic tool in resource poor setting lacking sophisticated imaging modalities. Methodology A retrospective study comprising two year records of 588 patients undergone FNAB and their histopathological correlation was used to derive the epidemiology of palpable breast lumps, spectrum of lesions and efficacy of FNAB in our hospital set up. Results Study comprises of 588 cases of which 538 (92.22%) were female and 50 (8.57%; P Discussion and conclusion Present study demands the further exploration of factors influencing the disparity in delayed reporting among male and female. Statistical figure of comparable adequacy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive and negative predictive value to other studies suggest that FNAB could be used as a good screening and diagnostic tool for breast lesions in resource poor settings which lacks sophisticated imaging techniques. |
