title: Mammography and the primary care management of breast lumps.
abstract: Breast cancer is the commonest cause of death from malignancy in women in the Western world. Although advances have been made in treatment, 11,000 women a year continue to die from the disease in Britain. Prognosis is undoubtedly better with early diagnosis, and this may best be achieved by prompt referral to a breast unit if a persistent mass is suspected clinically.
