| Abstract | In Hong Kong, the situation is compounded by the fact that breast cancer still seems to be less common than in other places, despite the rising trend that has been described. However, given the relatively low prevalence of this distressing disease, and the continuing debate in countries that have already established expensive national screening programmes, there would seem little justification for a programme of mammographic screening in this community at the present time, although mammography will still be of use in patients with symptoms or signs of breast disease. |
