[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you get a copy of the report? What was the BIRADS number? That tells you how likely it is to be cancer. 5 or 6 is concerning. A 4 could go either way. 3 or less and it’s very unlikely. For reference, I got called back and recommended for a biopsy with a mass that was scored as a 4. It turned out to be benign. [/quote] That is helpful, thank you. [/quote] 4 is divided in to a, b, and c. From low suspicion to high. A is 2-10% suspicion of malignancy, b is 10-50%, and c is 50-95%. Birads 5 is highly suspicious for malignantlcy (basically over 95% and your doctor is thinking it is cancer) 6 is a known cancer If you have a 4, they say to consider a biopsy [/quote]
