Biopsy Methods

A series of 90 clinically occult operated breast lesions, diagnosed in the course of mammographic mass screening for early detection of breast cancer, is reported. Five radiological patterns of suspect lesions are identified and compared with histological diagnosis of the biopsy. Diagnostic quadrantectomy is suggested for clinically unapparent lesions showing a radiologic pattern which has a high probability of finding a cancer or preneoplastic lesion (severe epitheliosis). Alternative biopsy methods to diagnostic quadrantectomy are recommended for lesions showing other radiological patterns, allowing for a more limited breast tissue excision.

Asymptomatic Women

Breast cancer is now the most common cancer in women. There is a certain correlation between the stage of the disease at diagnosis and outcome after treatment. Several studies have been initiated involving mammography with or without physical examination aimed at early detection of breast cancer in asymptomatic women. In order to review the results to date, a meeting was held in Reykjavík in April 1984 organized by international and Icelandic health agencies and attended by senior investigators of the ongoing screening studies. A summary of the available data is presented in this paper along with the conclusions of the meeting.

The diagnostic efficacy of mammography and physical examination, separately and considered together, are evaluated in 912 cases of breast cancer detected at the Center for Social Diseases of the Florence District, where there is a mass-screening program (110 cases) and a diagnostic service for self-referred women (810 cases). The overall sensitivity of the 2 methods increases with age; the trends of diagnostic efficacies of mammography and palpation according to age are similar, except in the 40–44 year age group, in which physical examination has a lower percentage of false-negative cases. In the screening group, there is a greater proportion of nonpalpable cancers and mammography has a larger diagnostic efficacy except in the 40–44 year age group. These results agree with the better sensitivity of mammography in smaller lesion (T1) and with the larger proportion of non-interpretable mammographies in younger women, because of the density of mammalian glands.
