The incidence and prevalence of disorders of the breast have been assessed in 13,456 women examined annually at a family planning clinic over 5 years. Screening for disorders of the breast was by clinical examination alone and abnormalities were detected in 1 of every 58 women attending the clinic and these were referred for hospital opinion: biopsy was required in 1 in 114. Only 12 cancers of the breast were detected and all of these in women over 35 years. It is suggested that the usual policy of examining the breasts of women taking oral contraceptive preparations should be restricted to those over 40 years.
