Developments in Methods for Early Detection of Breast Cancer

  • Chapter
Early Breast Cancer

Abstract

Up to 90% of all women with breast cancer discover their condition, now as always, themselves (Haagensen 1971; Strax 1976). Palpation findings are the prerequisite for all further diagnostic procedures, because 16% of minimal cancers would not have been detected otherwise (Moskowitz 1982). But for diagnosis of early breast cancer in the remaining 84% of cases methods have still to be developed.
