It also the seconder aim is the comparison between the general surgery (GS) outpatient clinic and other non-general surgery clinics , for the diagnosis of the breast cancer. Material and Methods: The patients who came to the GS, internal medicine (IM), and obstetrics and gynecology (OG) outpatient clinics of our hospital between January1, 2015, and June15, 2019, were examined retrospectively. Continuous variables were reported as the mean and standard deviation, whereas categorical nominal variables were expressed as a percentage of the total population. Results: Between January1, 2015, and June15, 2019, the total number of mammograms required for breast examination was 7998.Of these, 1769 were GS,456 were IM, and 5773 of them were OG outpatient clinics. The mean age was 48±2.3 years in GS, 48±6.7 years in IM, and 47±3.9 years in OG outpatient clinics (p>0.05). The distrubition of the number of malignant breast cases are GS: 43, OG: 21, IM: 5, respectively. In total, 69 breast cancer diagnoses were made. In terms of clinical dominance, the general surgery clinic has emerged as the most effective clinic in putting breast malignancy [AOR: 0.34 (0.21-0.54) (P <0.001)]. Among patients with mammography BIRADS 4 and 5, the risk of malignancy was higher than in those with BIRADS 0-1-2-3 [AOR: 0.81 (0.72-0.9) (P <0.001)]. Conclusion: We believe that the most important cornerstone for the diagnosis of breast diseases, especially concerning malignancy is physical examination, anamnesis, and imaging techniques through which interclinic collaboration.
