Interesting article. I tend to agree – it has it’s uses, but only in carefully selected women at high risk of having a breast lesion. Buckeye surgeon recently did a good post on this, http://tr.im/hFs3

It’s also interesting to note that these high risk patients generally have a genetic susceptibility, and by regularly zapping them with mammos we are exposing them to even more neoplasm forming radiation – although I’d agree it’s a risk/benefit situation in this case.
