  • Title: Nonpalpable, probably benign breast lesions in general practice: the role of follow-up mammography.
    Author: Duijm LE, Zaat JO, Guit GL.
    Journal: Br J Gen Pract; 1998 Jul; 48(432):1421-3. PubMed ID: 9800404.
    Abstract:
    A nonpalpable, probably benign lesion is frequently detected on mammograms. The aim of this paper was to determine the role of follow-up mammography as an alternative to surgical biopsy of these lesions, in patients from a general practice population. In a prospective study we estimated the compliance rate of general practitioners and patients with the recommendations for mammographic follow-up of nonpalpable, probably benign lesions. Reasons for noncompliance, the value of a reminder and the probability of malignancy were determined.
