Abstract :
Objective: Evaluating the usefulness of the Triple Test Score (TTS) in breast lesions.
Materials and Methods: Medical records of 100 cases were evaluated and TTS was
calculated based on of physical examination, mammograpby and fine-needle aspiration
cytology findings. The diagnostic value of TTS was assessed according to histopathology
results.
Results: Of the 23 lesions with score of 5, which considered as suspicious, 7 were benign and
16 were malignant . TTS less than or equal to 4 has a specificity of 100% and TTS greater
than or equal to 6 has a sensitivity of 100%.
Conclusion: The TTS reliably guides evaluation and treatment of breast lesions. TTS 3 or 4
are always benign and breast lesions with scores greater than or equal to 6 are malignant and
should be treated accordingly.
