The role of screening in the fight against breast cancer.
Breast cancer, a significant cause of mortality, can often be tackled effectively if detected at an early stage. This may be achieved by mammography, physical examination by skilled practitioners, or self-examination of the breasts. However, the value and feasibility of these methods vary with the age of the subject and with economic and cultural circumstances.
