Triaging of Women Detected With a Breast Lump on Clinical Breast Examination Using Portable Ultrasound Device
This study aims to stratify women diagnosed with a lump in the breast by clinical breast examination(CBE) using a hand-held ultrasound machine. They will be stratified either with benign or potentially malignant lesion. As most of the lesions identified by CBE are benign, stratifying them (triage) avoids the unnecessary procedures in terms of mammography and biopsy. This will also reduce the burden in the further assessment sites, and provide better quality services in these places.
