Tactics of radiographic diagnostics of breast cancer in women with inherited predisposition

Abstract

With conventional approaches to mammography tissue examination in women over 40 years of age, mammography has been found to be lesseffective for a group of younger women with negative family histories (cancer in the family) and BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutation carriers.A distinct approach to mammography tissue examination in women with a hereditary disposition, involving additional examination methodswith due regard for age, is therefore suggested.
