Hi,
First of all,when a BIRAD score 0 is assigned on a report,it means that the test did not give enough information to the Radiologist and more testing is needed.A BIRADS score 4 on the other hand, means that the lesion is suspicious,but not “very” suspicious.In this case a biopsy is always recommended, because this is the only way that will give you a definite diagnosis.
Usually increased vascularity (blood flow) finding increases suspicion, especially if the lesion has irregular borders. A lesion having these characteristics,doesn't necessarily mean that cancer is present,sometimes other benign breast lesions can present this way.including vascularity,but as to what could be causing this "increased vascularity"it is difficult to reassure you completely until a biopsy is performed..
I wish you all the best,and I hope that your pathology report will state "Benign findings”
First the BIRADS score of 0 means that further investigation is necessary to arrive at a diagnosis and this would be the Biopsy that you have scheduled. Evidently there is a lesion that is slightly less than half an inch, which I don't consider particularly small. According to the interpretation of the study this area is suspicious due to it's characteristics ... blood flow to the area and the irregular shape. These things can be seen in malignant findings. It will take the upcoming biopsy to determine the true nature of this lesion. I appears to me that you are receiving excellent Medical Care in this situation. Any time you feel that you have not received adequate information you need to insist on a detailed discussion with your Dr. I don't know when your biopsy is scheduled but you might still call your Dr.s office and request a face to face meeting about the test results. In these hurried times it is often necessary to "demand" explanations .... sometimes if you don't ask it is assumed that you understand or that you don't need more information. Best wishes for a good outcome with your biopsy.
