Predicting the presence of invasive carcinoma from the extent of mammographic malignant microcalcification and grade of ductal carcinoma in situon core biopsy: results from a National Health Service Screening Programme
Abstract:The emphasis of mammographic breast screening is to detect small invasive breast cancers at a time in their natural history when early detection and treatment will reduce significantly the risk of death. However, breast screening cannot be absolutely specific in its approach and detects a wide spectrum of breast cancer, ranging from microfocal low-grade ductal carcinoma in situ to large highgrade invasive cancer. It is well recognized that many of the lowgrade, special invasive cancers identified at screening … Show more
