That is helpful, thank you.

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
