Usefulness of Triple Test Score for Breast Lesions

Abstract:
Objective
Evaluating the usefulness of the Triple Test Score (TTS) in breast lesions.
Materials And Methods
Medical records of 100 cases were evaluated and TTS was calculated based on of physical examination, mammograpby and fine-needle aspirationcytology findings. The diagnostic value of TTS was assessed according to histopathology results.
Results
Of the 23 lesions with score of 5, which considered as suspicious, 7 were benign and 16 were malignant. TTS less than or equal to 4 has a specificity of 100% and TTS greater than or equal to 6 has a sensitivity of 100%.
Conclusion
The TTS reliably guides evaluation and treatment of breast lesions. TTS 3 or 4 are always benign and breast lesions with scores greater than or equal to 6 are malignant and should be treated accordingly.
