Abstract
Single oblique-view mammography is recommended for screening purposes. Data indicating that using the oblique view only can allow 11% of cancers to remain undetected is present. The smallest and potentially curable cancers are most likely to be overlooked in this way; any possible benefit of screening is thereby reduced. Data are also presented to show that 39% of women may require other views for reasons not necessarily related to cancer detection. It is recommended that all women have 4-view mammography (oblique plus craniocaudal views of each breast) at their 1st screening visit.
