[Bilateral breast tumors].
From a retrospective analysis of 181 cases observed in a ten-year period (1980-1990), the authors registered a frequency of bilateral breast cancer comparable to that reported in the literature (1-12%). Early diagnosis is the only factor able to modify positively the prognosis, through an accurate follow up, based on blood and X-ray tests (low-density mammography).
