Finding Early Invasive Breast Cancers: APracticalApproach
humanhealth.iaea.orgnvasive breast cancer typically man-ifests as a mass at mammography. Before developing into a mass, a can-cer may manifest as a focal asymmetry. Early detection of these masses and asymmetries that represent invasive carcinoma is important in reducing breast cancer mortality. Women with invasive cancers of 1 cm or smaller have
