Sažetak
Lifetime risk of developing breast cancer in women is about 12%. This risk is relatively
reduced as the time of having no breast cancer is prolonged. In the present study, we aimed to
determine the association between BI-RADS 4 lesions detected by breast ultrasound and risk factors
for breast cancer. BI-RADS 4 has 3 categories, i.e., BI-RADS A, BI-RADS B and BI-RADS C. Risk
factors for breast cancer were defined as follows: age over 40 years, age at menarche 12 years or earlier,
no lactation, no delivery, body mass index 30 kg/m2 or greater, and breast cancer history in a first-degree
relative. The relationship between the risk factors and malignancy risk was compared in subjects BIRADS
lesions. One or more risk factors were significant in terms of malignancy when the risk factors
were compared with malignancy in BI-RADS 4A, B, C lesions, and the increase in the number of risk
factors was significant in terms of malignancy. We think that our study is important for showing the
relationship between these risk factors and patients with benign and malignant lesions. However, if patients
have one or more of these risk factors, if they are diagnosed with BI-RADS 4 lesion radiologically,
it should be kept in mind that the malignancy potential is higher in these patients, and if biopsy results
are benign, follow-ups should be done strictly.
