Abstract:Background BI-RADS Category 4 patients have a 2–95% risk for malignancy and are generally recommended for breast biopsy with little discrimination for risk level or distinction between risk of invasive or in situ disease. Our study sought to determine if higher thresholds for biopsy based on stratifying for risk and distinguishing between risk of invasive cancer and DCIS could reduce biopsy rates and increase cancer-to-biopsy yields without missing cancers urgent for resolution.
