Abstract

The roles of mammography in early detection of breast cancer are many—both direct and indirect. Mammography appeals to the patient; it is the only procedure that consistently detects breast cancer prior to signs and symptoms. Mammography has proved to be a most valuable adjunctive diagnostic procedure in the management of die patient with breast disease. It continues to stimulate the team approach of the surgeon, radiologist, and pathologist with increased interest in breast cancer. Better treatment planning, increased knowledge about breast diseases—benign, malignant, and premalignant—and resultant better patient care are emerging. Mammography is giving every indication of adding to the control of breast cancer and eventually lowering mortality from this disease.
