title: [The value of mammography in patients up to the age of 35].
abstract: The use of mammography in young women is under debate. In this prospective study of 220 women aged up to 35 years, the indications for mammography were compared with the final diagnosis. In this way, an attempt was made to define the signs and symptoms that justify mammography in this age group. The results show that mammography is indicated only in the presence of palpable lumps. All other signs or symptoms should not be investigated by means of ionising radiation in this particular age bracket.
