One hundred and eighty-five breast cancers were demonstrated by xeroradiography in 6,238 patients. Sixty-two cancers were occult, and constituted one-third of the demonstrable breast cancers. Some of the patients with clinically nonpalpable carcinomas had high risk factors known to be associated with the development of breast cancer. The diagnosis was usually established and confirmed by wide excisional biopsy of the area containing the suspicious lesion. In some instances the lesion was localized preoperatively by xeroradiography using a technique of skin markings. Specimen xeroradiography was utilized if there were calcifications seen on the preoperative xeroradiograph. There was a significantly decreased incidence of axillary node metastases in the occult cases when compared to the dominant mass cases.
在6238例患者中，通过干板X线摄影术发现了185例乳腺癌。其中62例为隐匿性癌，占可检出乳腺癌的三分之一。一些临床触诊不到的癌患者具有已知与乳腺癌发生相关的高危因素。诊断通常通过对包含可疑病变区域进行广泛切除活检来确立和证实。在某些情况下，术前通过干板X线摄影术利用皮肤标记技术对病变进行定位。如果术前干板X线片上可见钙化，则采用标本干板X线摄影术。与显性肿块病例相比，隐匿性病例腋窝淋巴结转移的发生率显著降低。
