Early breast cancer detected by mammography. Marshfield Clinic experience.
Use of mammography in asymptomatic women does discover breast cancer at an earlier point in development, as measured by size, invasiveness, and nodal involvement. The integration of mammography into routine periodic evaluation of asymptomatic women over 35 years of age should diminish the threat of breast cancer.
