Two-Year Follow-Up Unnecessary For Some Women Who Undergo Fine Needle Aspiration.
2001 MAY 17 - (NewsRx Network) -- Women who have an abnormal mammogram and sonogram and undergo an ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration are traditionally asked to have a mammogram every six months for two years to confirm that the abnormality isn't cancer. However, two-year follow-up is not necessary, a new study shows.
The study, of 218 patients with abnormal mammograms and sonograms, found that ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration plus one-year of follow-up mammography is 100% accurate at identifying malignancies, says Shalom Buchbinder, MD, director of mammography at Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, New York.
One case of cancer was initially missed by fine needle aspiration, reports Buchbinder. That case was discovered at the 12-month follow-up mammography, he told the American Roentgen Ray Society at its annual meeting in Seattle, Washington, on May 1, 2001.
