Two groups of patients consisting of women with and without breast symptoms are compared. They were mammographed in the same institute under identical technical conditions. Carcinomas found by screening were considerably less advanced. The findings confirm the experience of numerous authors that screening improves the prognosis; applied tandem method--physical examination and mammography--is far from ideal, but represents at present the best method to reduce breast cancer mortality. The final conclusion is to intensify the screening programs.
对两组患者进行了比较，一组是有乳房症状的女性，另一组是没有乳房症状的女性。她们在同一机构、相同技术条件下接受了乳房X光检查。筛查发现的癌症病情要轻得多。这些发现证实了众多作者的经验，即筛查可改善预后；所采用的联合方法——体格检查和乳房X光检查——远非理想，但目前是降低乳腺癌死亡率的最佳方法。最终结论是加强筛查计划。
