title: [Mammography and prevention of breast carcinoma. Epidemiological considerations concerning female population of a Rome district].
abstract: At the present time breast cancer represents the primary reason of death caused by cancer amongst the female population of the western countries. Since the actuation of primary prevention programmes results impossible, the aim that must be considered primary is to attain a diagnosis of such tumour as precociously as possible. This research proposes to value the inclination of the female population of a District in Rome, of different classes of age, to have a mammography test in a state of spontaneous screening, in view of a next institution of a structured program of secondary prevention in the area of reference. The results have been examined with relation to the age limits considered as optimum for a correct application of this diagnostic methodology, in line with technical and epidemiological considerations.
