[Radiologic types in mammography in the 90-s. New classification].

The Authors present a critical review of the classification of radiological types in mammography proposed in 1986. On the basis of their personal experience over the past years, and in the light of the changed indications given by screening the asymptomatic population, a series of 6,072 mammographies performed over a 12-month period were included in the study. These were non-selected cases undergoing X-ray examination for a variety of reasons, ranging from periodical control to carcinophobia.

[Mammographic screening of a random population. Evaluation of 16,500 cases].

After analysing data collected over a 5-year period, the Authors emphasise that screening for breast cancer is becoming increasingly common-place. This has led to a marked improvement of the prognosis of this pathology.

[Mammography in screening in breast studies. Retrospective analysis of a personal series].

The authors point out the value of mammography in the screening as the examination of choice, based on a personal series of more than 12,000 patients examined between 1980 and 1986, and distributed according to a personal classification.
