TL;DR: Host, tumor, and treatment-related factors influencing cosmetic outcome are analyzed for patients receiving breast conservation treatment and it is found that improper orientation of tylectomy and axillary incisions and refinement in surgical/irradiation techniques will enhance the cosmetic results in breast conservation therapy.

TL;DR: F(ab'),2 fragments offer significant promise for tumor imaging and possibly therapy and in double-label experiments with anti-CEA antibody and control monoclonal IgG, F(ab')2 fragments were found to give better and more rapid specific tumor localization than intact antibody or Fab fragments.

TL;DR: Thoracentesis with or without nitrogen mustard instillation was distinctly inferior to the tube and nitrogen mustard method, and pleurectomy in selected cases proved worthwhile.

TL;DR: FDG-PET is more sensitive than CT in the clinical assessment of patients with recurrent or metastatic CRC, and provides an accurate means of selecting appropriate treatment for these patients.

TL;DR: Pneumoperitoneum increased implantation of free intra-abdominal cancer cells at wound sites on the abdominal wall or within the abdominal cavity in this animal model, but did not effect recurrence in the liver, lung, or jejunum.
