摘      要：Dear Editor,Microcalcifications(MCs)are common findings in mammography and can be indicative of different degrees of malignancy,thus requiring multiple stereotaxis vacuumassisted biopsies under mammography to identify and characterize breast cancer[1,2].In many cases,however,the presence of MCs is not associated with the presence of a ***,a better understanding of the physical-chemical properties of MCs is needed to assess the relationship between their presence and breast cancer.
