The man behind the margins

Roland Holland started investigating mammograms and their relation to pathological findings as part of the first European pilot of breast screening. His findings were later used by Umberto Veronesi as key evidence in support of breast-conserving surgery. More than 20 years on, his data are again being called into service, this time by America’s brachytherapists.
