“…Meyer et al 74 found that 28 (90 percent) of 31 carcinomas in women younger than 35 years were visible on mammogram, while Morrow 75 reported that 34 (81 percent) of 42 cancers in women aged 40 years and younger had mammographic abnormalities, but mammography was the primary method of cancer detection in only 19 percent of these cases because routine screening was not used in this age group. Other studies report mammographic identification of cancer in 67 to 75 percent of women younger than 40 years.…”

“…As with women aged 30 years and older, most investigators agree that if physical examination results are highly suspicious and mammographic results are negative, tissue sampling with FNAB, core biopsy, or surgical biopsy is warranted. In symptomatic young women subsequently proved to have breast cancer, mammographic results were abnormal preoperatively in 86% to 90% of them, [28][29][30], suggesting that it is of substantial value in the diagnosis of malignancy. Disclaimer: The ACR Committee on Appropriateness Criteria ® and its expert panels have developed criteria for determining appropriate imaging examinations for the diagnosis and treatment of specified medical conditions.…”

“…Für jüngere Frauen und Hochrisikopatientinnen muss ein kürzeres Intervall (jähr-lich) empfohlen werden [2,18]. Obwohl 60 ± 90 % der Mammakarzinome der jungen Frau mammographisch nachweisbar sind [22], ist die Brustdichte bei jungen Frauen deutlich höher und das Mammographiescreening dadurch eingeschränkt [23] …”
