The post-surgical radiotherapy of breast cancer and its problems are discussed and an account is given of recent trends in this field. The use of fast electrons is regarded as an optimal form of management for the chest wall, and the ipsilateral subscapular and internal mammary lymph gland chains.

[Incidence of hepatic metastases of breast cancer. Scintigraphic study with radiocolloids in 111 patients].

The anatomical and physiological premises of liver scintigraphy with radiocolloids as a useful study in patients suffering from various stages of breast cancer are analysed. A series of 111 cases is then reported. The technique was used on these cases one or more times and revealed the presence of a scintigraphic picture suggesting liver metastasis in 36% of cases (27.5% at first observation). These data proved higher than those previously reported in the literature by other workers. The technique is therefore proposed as a routine investigation in patients suffering from breast cancer.
