Abstract:
Breast cancer is one of the most common neoplasms of women in Poland. The study presents the diagnostic possibilities for early detection of neoplastic lesions and their differentiation from the radiologist point of view. Advantages and restrictions of individual methods and current views on prophylactic and diagnostic algorithms have been considered. The study has been based on long-term observation of patients coming to Breast Diseases Outpatient Clinic as well as on scientific reports. The importance of cooperation between radiologists and physicians with other specializations who deal with breast diseases has been stressed.
