[Proposal for a program in the early diagnosis of breast cancer].
Systematic examination of the breasts of women admitted to a medical ward for apparently non-breast-related pathologies revealed 22 cases of isolated nodules (2.06%) of which 9 (40.9%) were carcinomatous. It is pointed out that while mass screenings are impossibly expensive careful periodic clinical examination by the G.P. is sufficient to identify a good percentage of potentially curable neoplasias.
