Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Breast imaging for male patients is a controversial topic due to the high prevalence of gynecomastia compared to male breast cancer. Worldwide, men are undergoing more breast imaging despite the low incidence of male breast cancer. Gynecomastia is a benign condition, but the anxiety it causes and unnecessary medical costs are still high.
UNASSIGNED: In accordance with Royal College of Radiology guidelines, a retrospective study was performed in two cycles to determine if mammography or ultrasound should be included in the workup of male patients who were referred to a breast care unit for a lump that was deemed benign by doctors.
UNASSIGNED: There was 100% concordance between clinical diagnosis and imaging findings.
UNASSIGNED: In this population imaging was not necessary in cases of probable gynecomastia and benign conditions found during a clinical assessment. Standardised patient assessment methods can improve care and ensure accurate evaluation.
摘要:
男性患者的乳腺成像是一个有争议的话题,因为与男性乳腺癌相比,男性乳房发育症的患病率很高。全球,尽管男性乳腺癌的发病率较低,但男性接受更多的乳腺成像。男性乳房发育是一种良性疾病,但是它引起的焦虑和不必要的医疗费用仍然很高。
根据皇家放射学院指南,我们分两个周期进行了一项回顾性研究,以确定男性患者的检查中是否应包括乳房X线照相术或超声检查,这些男性患者因医生认为是良性的肿块而被转诊到乳房护理病房.
临床诊断与影像学检查结果100%一致。
在这种情况下,如果在临床评估中发现可能的男性乳房发育症和良性疾病,则无需进行人群成像。标准化的患者评估方法可以改善护理并确保准确的评估。
