Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To assess whether the COVID-19 pandemic delayed breast cancer diagnosis in Taiwan, an Asian country with a low COVID-19 incidence.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The institutional review board approved this retrospective study at a public academic medical center. The monthly volume of breast biopsies and breast cancers during the COVID-19 pandemic (between January 1 and July 31, 2020) was compared to the same period a year earlier (pre-COVID-19).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

COVID-19 2019

Patients receiving biopsies with a BI-RADS assessment of 4 or 5 from mammographic or ultrasonographic exams or combinations of tests were analyzed \[4\]. We further categorized the biopsy data as ultrasound-guided or mammograph-guided biopsy based on procedure coding. Ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy (CNB) was performed for breast lesions visible on ultrasound.

No interventions assigned to this group
