Methylxanthines and fibrocystic breast disease: a study of correlations.

Daily methylxanthine ingestion from drug and dietary sources was studied by means of questionnaires from a sample of 102 women who visited the office of a radiologist for xeromammograms. The mammograms were used to measure the level of fibrocystic breast disease. Fibrocystic breast disease was found to be positively correlated with both caffeine and total methylxanthine ingestion. These positive findings are discussed in light of the fact that most recent studies of this link have been negative.

One-view mammographic screening?

Repeated mammographic exposures of asymptomatic women in the screening situation has raised questions regarding possible risks. Obtaining only one view, regardless of imaging technique, would approximately halve the exposure. While retrospective analysis indicates further investigation is warranted, one-view mammographic screening is not yet recommended. The lateral view, including the chest wall, would reduce exposure by approximatley 44% but little savings in technologist time could be anticipated.

Needle localization of nonpalpable breast lesions.

Mammographic identification of nonpalpable breast lesions suspicious for malignancy constitutes a valid indication for breast biopsy but localization is difficult. Percutaneous needle localization of such lesions, whether clustered microcalcifications, small masses, or focal areas of distorted mammary architecture, is an effective aid to the surgeon. The authors' experience in more than 80 cases is described and the necessity for specimen radiography is emphasized.
