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 aspiration cytology 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.
