Abstract
As the authors state, “Interpreting mammograms and making recommendations for patient management are exercises in uncertainty.” Mammographic signs of breast cancer (eg, masses, calcifications, asymmetry) may also result from a benign cause, and no imaging study can prove whether a mass is malignant. Still, mammography reduces mortality by detecting disease early. The authors review all aspects of the procedure.Keywords
