RODRIGUEZ CASCARET, Argenis et al. Clinical, mammographic, and pathologic concordance in breast cancer. MEDISAN [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.7, pp.901-908. ISSN 1029-3019.

An observational descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in 100 patients with breast cancer, who attended the Breast Care Department at "Conrado Benítez" Teaching Oncology Hospital in Santiago de Cuba from August 2009 to July 2010, to characterize them according to imaging, pathological, clinical, and general variables. Percentage as summary measure to statically validate the results and Kappa index to determine diagnostic concordance were used. Women between 40-49 years with history of fibrocystic breast disease and palpable lesions, as well as lump in the right breast, upper outer quadrant and periphery of the breast, tumor greater than one centimeter in diameter and infiltrating ductal carcinoma in the stages III-b and IV prevailed in the case material.
