Summary

The purpose of this study is to train Nigerian radiologists to perform ultrasound-guided breast biopsies on women that present to the hospital with a suspicious breast mass. Before performing biopsies on patients, the Nigerian radiologists will have already successfully completed a competency-based mobile health ultrasound-guided breast biopsy-training program. This program, developed by experts in Nigeria and the United States of America, certifies that they have the skills required to safely perform these biopsies on patients.

Conditions

• Breast Cancer

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	US-guided breast biopsy	During this study, women with undergo an US-guided breast biopsy by a radiologist instead of what is typically performed in Nigerian hospitals, which is either a blind biopsy or surgical excision. US-guided breast biopsy is the standard of care in the United States of America because the accuracy is better than blind biopsy and equal to surgical excision.
OTHER	Ultrasound-guided breast biopsy training program	This program, developed by experts in Nigeria and the United States of America, certifies that they have the skills required to safely perform these biopsies on patients
