Radiological evidence of response to electrochemical treatment of breast cancer.

A non-surgical therapeutic approach is illustrated with a case report of a breast cancer. Percutaneous implantation of electrodes in a breast permitted electrochemical treatment of a clinically, radiologically and cytologically verified cancer. Electrophoresis was induced between two implanted electrodes for about 2 h. No complaints were reported and no complications were observed. Bi-annual mammographic follow up could not disclose palpable or mammographic evidence of tumour remnants 2 years later.

Early diagnosis of malignant pulmonary lesions. Importance of tumor size and growth rate.

The prognosis of peripheral lung cancer and the possibilities of an early diagnosis are discussed on the basis of a unique case of a small bronchogenic carcinoma which was followed with routine radiography over an eight year period. The tumor growth rate as reflected by volume doubling time is utilized for determination of the earliest possible visibility and evolution time. Certain conclusions are drawn about the importance of an early diagnosis and therapy for the prospective chances of a radical cure.

Needle biopsies of pulmonary lesions. Precautions and management of complications.

This review is based on 5300 needle biopsies. Complications and their precaution are discussed. Pneumothorax seldom has to be treated. Hemoptysis and small local bleeding are of no clinical significance. Tumor cell spread and air embolism may occur but extremely rarely. Indications, contraindications equipment, and biopsy technique are treated. A recent technical improvement in needle biopsy is described.

Stereotaxic instrument for needle biopsy of the mamma.

A stereotaxic instrument is described which facilitates percutaneous needle biopsy of the breast for microscopic diagnosis. The instrument consists of an x-ray tube mounted on a hinged arm, pivoting stand, patient table, compression device with film holder and scale system, coordinate-controlled puncture device with separate stand, biopsy instrument, and calculator. The sampling site can be located at a precision within +/- 1 mm. The instrument can also be used for positioning of metal and dye indicators for guiding surgery and for postoperative identification of excised tumors.

New instruments of biopsy.

A new instrument has been designed to obtain cytologic material. It consists of a cannula, a thin screw needle and an instrument holder. The technique offers a more efficient sampling and better material than the simple needle aspiration technique.
