Abstract

This article has attempted to describe the present status of efforts toward routine detection of breast cancer at a stage when it is readily curable and to point out, not only the potentials of screening programs, but also the problems and difficulties that beset them. We believe that efficient, safe screening and accurate early diagnosis are achievable and that trial directed toward this end should not only continue but expand. We see no other avenue that offers as bright a prospect for a meaningful reduction in breast cancer mortality and the monstrous toll--medical, emotional, sociologic and monetary--it exacts.
