摘要
Background and Objectives: Breast cancer is one of the most widespread cancers among the female population around the world and is curable if diagnosed in an early stage. Consequently, breast cancer screening imaging techniques have greatly evolved and adjusted over the last decades. Alongside mammography, sonoelastography became an important tool for breast cancer detection. However, sonoelastography still has its limitations, namely, there is still a high occurrence of false positive results in the BIRADS 4 category. The aim of our study is to identify potential false positive predictors and to ascertain the factors influencing the quality of strain ultrasound elastography for the evaluation of suspicious solid breast lesions categorized as BIRADS 4B, 4C, and 5. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study in a single private medical center in Timisoara between January 2017 and January 2022 analyzing 1625 solid breast lesions by the sonoelastography strain using a standardized BIRADS-US lexicon. Results: Our study showed that most sonoelastography factors linked to incorrect and overdiagnosis were due to a nodule dimension (OR = 1.02 per unit increase), posterior acoustic shadowing (OR = 12.26), reactive adenopathy (OR = 6.35), and an increased TES score (TES3 OR = 6.60; TES4 OR = 23.02; TES5 OR = 108.24). Regarding patient characteristics, age (OR = 1.09 per unit increase), BMI, (OR = 1.09 per unit increase), and breastfeeding history (OR = 3.00) were observed to increase the likelihood of false positive results. On the other hand, the nodules less likely to be part of the false positive group exhibited the following characteristics: a regular shape (OR = 0.27), homogenous consistency (OR = 0.42), and avascularity (OR = 0.22). Conclusions: Older age, high BMI, patients with a breastfeeding history, and those who exhibit the following specific nodule characteristics were most often linked to false positive results: large tumors with posterior acoustic shadowing and high elasticity scores, accompanied by reactive adenopathy. On the other hand, homogenous, avascular nodules with regular shapes were less likely to be misdiagnosed.
