Abstract
Background: Screening mammography contributes significantly to the reduction of breast
cancer-related morbidity and mortality through early detection and treatment. Breast cancer death is rising in Nigeria and over 70% of breast cancer patients present with advanced stages when no known remedy can annul disease advancement. This study was designed to document the findings of screening mammography of asymptomatic women to emphasize the role of screening mammography in early detection of breast cancer so as to encourage our women to embrace preventive care.
