Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women both in the developed and less developed world. American Cancer Society recommends mammograms as a detection method for breast cancer. However, mammography is quite expensive. Some tumor markers also considered have no value in diagnosing early breast cancer. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) measurement using Westergren method is not specific only for inflammation, with spectrophotometry, the specificity of ESR measurement could be improved.

Kanker payudara adalah kanker paling umum pada wanita baik di negara maju maupun negara kurang berkembang. American Cancer Society merekomendasikan mammogram sebagai metode deteksi untuk kanker payudara. Namun, mamografi cukup mahal. Beberapa penanda tumor juga dianggap tidak memiliki nilai dalam mendiagnosis kanker payudara dini. Pengukuran laju endap darah (LED) menggunakan metode Westergren tidak spesifik hanya untuk peradangan, dengan spektrofotometri, spesifisitas pengukuran LED dapat ditingkatkan.
