Intended to reduce “the time of doubt and diagnostic error”, this operation made it possible to detect breast cancer in 45% of the patients, and a benign disease in 55% of them. In total, nearly three-quarters of the women (74%) presented with a mass or a nodule and 26% with micro-calcifications.
During these “Diagnosis in 1 day” days, 26% of patients benefited from an on-site mammogram and 53% from an ultrasound. It should be noted that 90% of the patients treated during these days declared themselves satisfied with the experience.
Set up by Dr Suzette Delaloge, oncologist and head of the Breast Pathology Committee at the Gustave de Roussy Institute, this operation allows women with suspected breast cancer following a mammogram performed in town to obtain rapid screening. of disease.
