Overview
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Study of choice
Biopsy is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of breast cancer.
OR
The following result of [gold standard test] is confirmatory of breast cancer:
- [Result 1]
- [Result 2]
OR
[Name of the investigation] must be performed when:
- The patient presents with [symptom/sign 1], [symptom/sign 2], and [symptom/sign 3].
- A [name of test] is positive for [sign 1], [sign 2], and [sign 3] in the patient.
OR
[Name of the investigation] is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of breast cancer.
OR
The diagnostic study of choice for breast cancer is [name of the investigation].
OR
There is no single diagnostic study of choice for the diagnosis of breast cancer.
OR
There is no single diagnostic study of choice for the diagnosis of breast cancer, but breast cancer can be diagnosed based on [name of the investigation 1] and [name of the investigation 2].
OR
breast cancer is primarily diagnosed based on the clinical presentation.
OR
Investigations:
- Among the patients who present with clinical signs of breast cancer, the [investigation name] is the most specific test for the diagnosis.
- Among the patients who present with clinical signs of breast cancer, the [investigation name] is the most sensitive test for diagnosis.
- Among the patients who present with clinical signs of breast cancer, the [investigation name] is the most efficient test for diagnosis.
The comparison of various diagnostic studies for breast cancer
Test | Sensitivity | Specificity |
---|---|---|
Test 1 | ...% | ...% |
Test 2 | ...% | ...% |
[Name of test with higher sensitivity and specificity] is the preferred investigation based on the sensitivity and specificity
Diagnostic results
The following finding(s) on performing [investigation name] is(are) confirmatory for breast cancer:
- [Finding 1]
- [Finding 2]
Sequence of Diagnostic Studies
The [name of investigation] must be performed when:
- The patient presented with symptoms/signs 1, 2, and 3 as the first step of diagnosis.
- A positive [test] is detected in the patient, to confirm the diagnosis.
OR
The various investigations must be performed in the following order:
- [Initial investigation]
- [2nd investigation]
Name of Diagnostic Criteria
It is recommended that you include the criteria in a table. Make sure you always cite the source of the content and whether the table has been adapted from another source.
