This deplorable state of affairs, which is a cause of much wasted time and many unnecessary x-ray examinations, can be directly related to the very severe reduction in the amount of time which our medical schools allocate to the teaching and study of anatomy. In practical terms, it means that students become involved with contemplation of the abnormal before they have acquired a sound knowledge of the normal. Perhaps the tide is now beginning to turn, for, during the past year or so, there have been at least three publications affirming the importance of teaching radiological anatomy from the outset of the preclinical course. Can this really be just a coincidence ?read more

The descriptive epidemiology of female breast cancer: an international comparison of screening, incidence, survival and mortality
TL;DR: The future worldwide breast cancer burden will be strongly influenced by large predicted rises in incidence throughout parts of Asia due to an increasingly "westernised" lifestyle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity and breast cancer risk: impact of timing, type and dose of activity and population subgroup effects
TL;DR: The effect of physical activity on the risk of breast cancer is stronger in specific population subgroups and for certain parameters of activity that need to be further explored in future intervention trials.

Racial/ethnic variation in clinical presentation, treatment, and survival among breast cancer patients under age 35.
TL;DR: Factors that may explain racial/ethnic variation in outcomes among young women diagnosed with breast cancer, including clinical presentation, treatment, and survival of African‐American, Hispanic, and white women under age 35 years are examined.

The influence of nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and health beliefs on their safe behavior with cytotoxic drugs in Israel.
TL;DR: Study results demonstrated that although perceived social support and uncertainty accounted for a significant amount (27.2%) of variance of quality of life, a large amount of variance remains unexplained.

Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer: new genes in confined pathways
TL;DR: HBOC genes are examined, focusing on their role in genome maintenance, the possibilities for functional testing of putative causal variants and the clinical application of new HBOC genes in cancer risk management and treatment decision-making.

The pathology of invasive breast cancer. A syllabus derived from findings of the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast Project (protocol no. 4).
TL;DR: It becomes evident that the guidelines followed in the examination of these specimens appear to represent at least the minimum requirements necessary for a meaningful pathologic evaluation of breast carcinoma.

Pathologic findings from the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast Project (Protocol No. 4). V. Significance of axillary nodal micro- and macrometastases.
TL;DR: Two‐hundred seventy eight of 565 patients treated by radical mastectomy for invasive breast cancer in a prospective, randomized clinical trial exhibited axillary nodal metastases, suggesting metastases ≥1.3 mm may exert an influence independent of number of nodes involved.

TL;DR: About 10% of female breast cancer patients are under 40-years-old and in this group 10% are pregnant or nursing at the time of diagnosis, radical surgery is indicated for those in Stages 1 and 2 and palliative radiotherapy for metastatic lesions have proved beneficial.
