Carcinoma of the breast in women less than 40 years old is a significant problem, representing 7.4 per cent of the total number of carcinomas of the breast at our institution. It is apparent that mammography in this age group is of value in confirming the clinical suspicion of a malignant condition of the breast and in evaluating the remainder of the parenchyma of the breast for clinically occult lesions. However, one cannot over emphasize that a negative result from the mammogram should not delay biopsy in the presence of clinically suspicious lesions (1, 4). It is obvious that a larger series of patients is necessary to define the role of mammography in "young women."
40岁以下女性的乳腺癌是一个重大问题，在我们机构中占乳腺癌总数的7.4%。显然，这个年龄组的乳房X光检查对于确认临床怀疑的乳房恶性疾病以及评估乳房实质的其余部分是否存在临床隐匿性病变具有价值。然而，必须强调的是，在存在临床可疑病变的情况下，乳房X光检查的阴性结果不应延迟活检(1,4)。显然，需要更多的患者系列来确定乳房X光检查在“年轻女性”中的作用。
