Breast Cancer
Diagnostic Algorithms for Primary Care Providers, June
2011 (4th Ed.)
The Breast Cancer Diagnostic Algorithms for Primary
Care Providers was developed to aid primary care
clinicians with the work-up of breast abnormalities
and to promote
the practice of routine risk assessment.
Originally published in 1997, the 4th edition
incorporates the latest research and
guideline updates into a brief,
user-friendly format.
Health care providers are
encouraged to use the algorithms as an adjunct to
clinical decision-making; they are not intended to
replace clinical judgment with regard to individual
cases.
