TT determines the sen-sitivity, specificity, positive predictive value of breast lesions. In this study, fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and core needle biopsy (CNB) are the current methods of choice for pathological diagnosis Triple procedure can be employed as an alternative for excisional biopsy.
