Abstract

Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System, also known as BI-RADS is a universal system used by radiologists and doctors. It constructs a comprehensive language for the diagnosis of breast cancer. BI-RADS 4 category has a wide range of cancer risk since it is divided into 3 categories. Mathematical models play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. In this study, data of 42 BI-RADS 4 patients taken from the Center for Breast Health, Near East University Hospital is utilized. Regarding the analysis, a mathematical model is constructed by dividing the population into 4 compartments. Sensitivity analysis is applied to the parameters with the desired outcome of a reduced range of cancer risk. Numerical simulations of the parameters are demonstrated. The results of the model have revealed that an increase in the lactation rate and early menopause have a negative correlation with the chance of being diagnosed with BI-RADS 4 whereas a positive correlation increase in age, the palpable mass, and family history is distinctive. Furthermore, the negative effects of smoking and late menopause on BI-RADS 4C diagnosis are vehemently outlined. Consequently, the model showed that the percentages of parameters play an important role in the diagnosis of BI-RADS 4 subcategories. All things considered, with the assistance of the most effective parameters, the range of cancer risks in BI-RADS 4 subcategories will decrease.
