Findings from NSABP protocol no. B‐04‐comparison of radical mastectomy with alternative treatments for primary breast cancer. I. Radiation compliance and its relation to treatment outcome

TL;DR: Analysis of data demonstrated that there was a remarkable similarity in the incidence and rate of treatment failure (TF) or mortality between patients having some radiation variation, regardless of its degree or extent and those who were treated with no protocol variation, suggesting that there is some acceptable leeway in the use of radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The authors concluded that retention of either erythrocytes or tumor cells is not influenced by cannulation of efferent lymphatics of nodes and lymph collection, and that tumor cells themselves may be as great or greater a determinant of their residence in nodes as are the biological and mechanical properties of such nodes.
