In 1987, the National Health Service Breast Screening Programme (NHSBSP) was founded in the United Kingdom with the goal of reducing mortality from breast cancer and improving the quality of the management of breast disease. The NHSBSP aims to reduce mortality from breast cancer by 25 percent by the year 2000, and early results indicate that the national target is being met. The data and experience gained from this multidisciplinary approach, which involves radiologists, pathologists, and medical and surgical oncologists, are presented in this volume.
