Mammography for breast cancer surgery. 80-year-old woman with breast cancer having an X-ray taken of her right breast (mammography) to confirm that a guide wire inserted into her breast is in the correct location. The guide wire was inserted under ultrasound examination to localise the tumour prior to surgery. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Early diagnosis can be made by mammography or self-examination. The cancer can be effectively treated by surgery followed by a course of radiotherapy or anti-cancer drugs to destroy any remaining cancerous cells. | |
