title: Nonpalpable breast cancer.
abstract: Although mammography is the most reliable method for the early detection of breast cancer in asymptomatic women and in women with equivocal signs or symptoms, this screening tool is still underutilized in the United States. Precise biopsy of suspicious nonpalpable findings is facilitated by mammographic localization.
