This book gives a synthesis of the latest advances in the early diagnosis of breast cancer. The information on mammographic screening and follow-up trials from Scandinavian and American screening centers is particularly important. The book also discusses cost/benefit problems, radiation risk from screening mammography, technical diagnostic examinations such as stereotactic biopsies and sonography, and non-palpable breast tumors. The contributions are from international specialists and represent the latest advances in the fight against breast cancer.
