“…Más aún, los estudios con supervivientes de cáncer sitúan la prevalencia de dolor crónico entre un 30 y un 60 % (5), con indicaciones de una alta morbilidad y graves repercusiones en su calidad de vida (6). Los trabajos disponibles no permiten dilucidar, con precisión, los factores que determinan la aparición del dolor o su impacto en estos pacientes (7,8). Tampoco existe un consenso acerca de qué factores son los responsables del dolor crónico oncológico, y así es difícil plantear acciones eficientes para prevenir o mitigar su impacto en la vida de los pacientes.…”

“…Research has raised an important point that severe mastalgia in women's daily life may be related to the fear of breast cancer. 25,26 Physical examination, ultrasonography examination may affect the psychological state of the patient and reduce the patient's pain and anxiety. 26 In the west part of Turkey, women are more educated than the east part of Turkey.…”

Background: Mastalgia is common among women and its aetiology is still not fully understood. Studies are conducted to reveal the relationship between breast pain and psychosomatic disorders. The goals of the project are to compare the interaction of psychological symptoms and health related quality of life (HRQL) in patients with mastalgia between East and West of Turkey. Materials and Methods: Seventy-four women from the General Surgery Clinic of Diyarbakır Ergani Hospital (Eastern group) (n=39) and Istanbul University, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine (Western group) (n=35) were included in the study. The symptom checklist-90-revised (SCL-90-R) scales was used to evaluate physiological findings and Short Form-36 (SF-36) scales was used for evaluating health related quality of life (HRQL). Results: Median age of patients from Eastern group was 27.54 (18-39) years and 35.57 (18-70) years in Western group (t=-4.585, P<0.0001). Average Global Severity İndex (GSI) scores of the eastern group were statistically significantly higher than the western group (P<0.01). When the SCL-90-R values of the eastern and western groups are compared, somatization, interpersonal sensitivity, phobic anxiety, psychoticism, depression and anxiety in the eastern group are higher than the western group. According to SF-36 results, the mean scores in the eastern group tended to be lower than in the western group. Conclusion: The results revealed that psychological symptoms differ between east and west of Turkey. This may indicate that socio-economic differences may also have effects on psychological symptoms. In addition, mastalgia negatively affects women's quality of life.

“…However, if pain is associated with other symptoms or palpable mass, ultrasound should be advised to rule out any abnormality. (8) Mammography may be reassuring to the patient but is usually not of much help in evaluating breast pain. (9) In present study, out of 159 patients presenting with pain, only 54 had ndings.…”

Objectives: To evaluate symptomatic breast disease by imaging and calculate sensitivity and specificity of mammography (MG) and ultrasound (USG) independently and using them as a combined modality. Materials and Methods: 352 patients presenting with symptomatic breast disease in the Out-Patient Department or admitted in the wards were included in our study. 193 patients underwent Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the abnormality detected either on MG or USG and constituted the study population. Senstivity, specificity and Negative Predictive Value of MG, USG and MG+USG was calculated. Results: Out of 352 patients included in our study, the maximum number of patients (158) were between 31-40 years. Pain and palpable lump were the common complaints in our study group. The most common lesion was fibroadenoma present in 58 patients followed by fibrocystic breast disease in 52, abscess in 18, cysts in 12, and benign duct ectasia in 12 patients. Carcinoma was present in 41 patients and most were in the older age group. The senstivity of MG, USG, MG+USG in diagnosing breast disease was calculated to be 72.7%,90.9%, and 96.96% respectively and specificity of MG, USG, MG+USG was calculated to be 92.35%,89.28%,100% respectively. The negative predictive value (NPV) of MG was lower 74.28% whereas USG had NPV of 89.28%. A higher NPV of 96.55% was seen when MG and USG were used complementary to each other. Conclusion: Using MG and USG as complementary to each other increases the NPV and enhance the confidence of the radiologist in the detection and characterization of the lesion. Age-based criteria should be used to choose the type of diagnostic modality to be used for evaluating the breast.
