Abstract

Although much has been accomplished in the last few years toward the early detection of breast cancer, we are far from a goal of universal acceptance of the recommended preventive health program of screening mammography. To take an analogy from the Papanicolaou smear, we are somewhere in the 1960s. Both women and physicians have more to learn, and they need to transfer that knowledge into practice.
