Mammography and the primary care management of breast lumps.
Breast cancer is the commonest cause of death from malignancy in women in the Western world.

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.
