The treatment of non palpable lesions is one of the most important aspect of breast surgery. Mortality due to breast cancer significantly decreases by about 40% if the tumor is treated before becoming palpable. However, specific modalities have to be strictly respected by a multidisciplinary and experienced medical team. Due to the lack of mass screening organised by public health authorities, physicians in charge of the first line have to generously prescribe mammograms to their patients aged 50-70. Expertise is required for the second line. An expert radiologist is a radiologist who is able to detect subclinical breast lesions and to precisely locate them within the breast. An expert surgeon is an experienced one who can read a mammogram, locate a non palpable lesion and completely remove it according to radiologist information. The pathologist refusing a frozen section and having a look on the mammogram to understand the medical story is the good one, allowing an appropriate therapy based on a precise and complete histologic diagnosis. |
