It is unrealistic to expect that the best results which have been reported from some research programmes will be equalled after the introduction of a nationwide breast screening service in Britain. Stringent methods of quality control will be needed or potential benefits will not be realised. Despite the disadvantages an effective method of accreditation may be the only way to contain the cost to both healthy women and the National Health Service.
期望在英国引入全国性乳房筛查服务后能达到某些研究项目所报告的最佳结果是不现实的。需要严格的质量控制方法，否则潜在的益处将无法实现。尽管存在缺点，但有效的认证方法可能是控制对健康女性和国民医疗服务体系成本的唯一途径。
