[Multifocal cancer of the breast. Considerations on the mammographic diagnosis]

A review is carried out of a series of mammographic investigations in 687 tumours observed at the Pascale Institute, Naples, between 1972 and 1977. Mammography shows in a high percentage of cases a multifocality of the disease which was unsuspected. This allows a better evaluation of the stage of the tumour and a correct therapeutic programme.
