Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Breast cancer is a type of cancer caused by the uncontrolled growth of cells in the breast tissue. In a few cases, erroneous diagnosis of breast cancer by specialists and unnecessary biopsies can lead to various negative consequences. In some cases, radiologic examinations or clinical findings may raise the suspicion of breast cancer, but subsequent detailed evaluations may not confirm cancer. In addition to causing unnecessary anxiety and stress to patients, such diagnosis can also lead to unnecessary biopsy procedures, which are painful, expensive, and prone to misdiagnosis. Therefore, there is a need for the development of more accurate and reliable methods for breast cancer diagnosis.
