Background: Breast cancer is one of the top causes of cancer-related death in women globally, and early
identification improves prognosis and survival. Screening mammography detects asymptomatic breast
abnormalities. Not all screening mammogram lesions are cancerous, thus additional investigation is needed to
establish their type. FNAC and CB are minimally invasive procedures for histopathological tissue sampling. The
aim of study is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and core
needle biopsy (CNB) as preoperative diagnostic tools for breast cancer identified through screening.
Method:
Cross-sectional study of 75 breast cancer patients from June 2023 till December 2023 in Al-Imamain
Alkadhomain medical city. Age, core biopsy (B4a, B4b, B4c, B5), cytology diagnosis (Positive, Suspicious), and
ultrasound diagnostic (carcinoma, duct ectasia, fibro adenomas) are obtained for all females.
