Objective: to assess the results of indicators related to the supply of mammography and level of adequacy of diagnostic confirmation for mammograms with suspicious findings of malignancy in Minas Gerais state and its health macroregions.
Methods: this is an evaluation study performed with data from the Breast Cancer Information System and the Outpatient Information System for the years 2010 and 2011.
Results: : the ratio of mammograms in women aged 50 to 69 years was of 0.14 in 2010 (goal: 0.12) and 0.15 in 2011 (goal: 0.16); most mammograms were performed on annual basis, and a high percentage of exams conducted in age groups which are not recommended by the Ministry of Health was observed; the ratio between biopsies and mammograms with suspicious findings of malignancy was of 0.31 (2010) and 0.42 (2011).
Conclusion: the screening of breast neoplasms did not reach its goal in 2011 and there was a low rate of diagnostic confirmation for mammograms with suspicious findings of malignancy.

Objectives: Quality control in breast cancer screening programmes has been subject of several studies. However, less is known about the clinical diagnostic work-up in recalled women with a suspicious finding at screening mammography. The current study focuses on interhospital differences in diagnostic work-up strategies.

Sclerosing adenosis (SA) is a subtype of adenosis characterized by proliferative adenosis and stromal sclerosis with distortion of the terminal ductal lobular unit. Although SA is the most prevalent benign breast condition among middle-aged women, it may be associated with a two-fold increase in breast cancer risk. Microscopic findings of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in a SA (SA-DCIS) may mimic microinvasive carcinoma or even invasive carcinoma, which may result in overtreatment by a breast surgeon.

Rationale And Objectives: This study aimed to identify the factors associated with malignant biopsy results for new lesions within one year after breast cancer surgery.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 192 lesions from 186 patients who underwent biopsy for newly developed breast lesions within one year of breast cancer surgery. All patients underwent breast ultrasound (US) at 6 months and breast US with mammography one year after surgery.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers categorized the density into three grades and utilized ultrasonography and histopathology to further evaluate suspicious lesions.
- * Findings showed that grade 1 density was usually benign or normal, while higher grades (2 and 3) often indicated underlying pathologies, frequently leading to diagnoses of invasive ductal carcinoma and mastitis.
Understanding BI-RADS Category 3.

Article Synopsis
- The BI-RADS category 3 assessment indicates findings that are "probably benign," with a less than 2% chance of being cancerous, helping to reduce unnecessary breast biopsies.
- Despite its established guidelines for mammography, breast ultrasound, and emerging MRI uses, there is still confusion and misuse surrounding this category.
- Category 3 findings should be followed up with short-term imaging to monitor for changes, and it is not appropriate to use in screening studies without further diagnostic evaluations.
