TL;DR: Mycosis fungoides and the Sézary syndrome are forms of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, typified by cutaneous plaques which may evolve into tumors over the course of time, and patients with disease limited to the skin are treated best with topical or cutaneous therapies.

TL;DR: The identification of cancer families can be applied to genetic counseling, the in-utero diagnosis of carriers, and early disease detection, and patient education regarding the avoidance of harmful exposures can help prevent or delay the onset of neoplasia.

TL;DR: The epidemiologic evidence strongly suggests, however, that events relatively early in a woman's life are more important than later events, even though most of the risk of developing breast cancer will be expressed after the age of 75.

TL;DR: This monograph discusses principles of management common to all sites as well as individual differences, and discusses specific guidelines for individual sites, stressing the optimal integration of surgery and radiation therapy, particularly brachytherapy.
