Most women over the age of 35 years referred to a breast clinic have single-quadrant symptoms and undergo mammography (MMG) as part of the triple assessment of these. A proportion of these women has no abnormality clinically or on ultrasonography (P1 U1). The aim of this study was to assess the additional contribution of MMG in diagnosing cancer in patients with P1 U1 findings and to consider whether it is safe to be more selective when requesting MMG.
