[Mass radiography via mammography in women with enhanced risk of cancer of the breast (author's transl)].
Mammographic and clinical examination of 1,751 women with one or several risk factors of the screening programme revealed 5.2% carcinomas but only 1.6% occult carcinomas. The results are not better than those of mass radiographies of non-selected groups of women. The article discusses the course of the examination, radiation load, frequency rates of mastopathies and their relation to endocrinological factors, as well as cost and procedure.
