“…In a survey of 14,000 physicians, radical mastectomy with radiation was used in 30% of patients, radical mastectomy alone in 23%, radical mastectomy plus any other adjuvant therapies including radiation or chemotherapy in 16%, and simple mastectomy plus radiation in 7%. 16 Standard criteria for selecting patients for radiation began to emerge. The pathologic status of the axilla became the major factor determining when to use radiation-from 45% of cases with positive lymph nodes to 14% with negative lymph nodes.…”

This review examined the 60 years of progress made in treating breast cancer from the unique perspective of the reader of Cancer, with a specific emphasis on the evolution of radiation therapy, constituting a survey of the published articles in each decade, and the standards of treatment and controversies of their times that they portray, in 3 major areas: radiation as an adjuvant therapy to mastectomy, radiation for internal mammary lymph node treatment, and radiation with breast-conserving surgery as an alternative to mastectomy. Cancer 2008;113(7 suppl):1779-800.

Improved liquid cholesterol ester crystal thermography of the breast

The infrated detection apparatus used in breast thermography is relatively costly and therefore is not widely available to less populated areas in the country. The use of liquid cholesterol crystals, applied to the breast (applied over a water-base black dye) has already been described in the literature as an effective substitute for infrared instrument thermography. This method, however, has been hampered by the time and troublesome effort necessary for removal of the substances upon completion of the study. The object of this study was to devise a feasible method of cutaneous breast thermography using liquid cholesterol esters, as in prior studies, but by applying them to an easily removable black base. As a result the length of the examination has been shortened, and patients have found the examination to be aesthetically more acceptable. With this improved method, liquid crystal thermography of the breast (and other areas) should become more widely applicable.
