Study of sentinel lymph node in breast cancer: our experience in 46 cases.

At the Surgery Department of Biella 46 patients were enrolled in a study on the sentinel lymph node (SN) in the period from 1 January 1999 to 30 September 1999. The aim of the study was to determine, on the basis of our own experience, the percentages of accuracy and concordance, and compare them with case series abroad and in Italy; in addition, we sought to establish a possible correlation between certain features of breast cancer and positivity of the axilla. The method utilized was lymphoscintigraphy and gamma probe. Fifteen cases with positive axillary lymph nodes and 12 cases with positive sentinel lymph nodes were found; there were no false positive and three false negative results. No migration of the tracer was observed with lymphoscintigraphy in two cases. The percentage of concordance obtained was 93.2% in the complete series and 96.5% in the subseries that excluded the learning curve. Comparing the percentage of concordance of our case series with those abroad and in Italy, an average overlapping percentage was obtained. The percentage of accuracy obtained in our study was 95.7%, which is slightly higher than the average of percentages of the case series abroad and in Italy.

[Some biological aspects of cancer. Approach to a general theory of cancerogenesis].

Cancer is considered to be the consequence of internal evolutionary drives typical of species with open evolution (e.g. vertebrates) deficient in the primary teleonomic mechanisms underlying the maintenance of reproductive invariability. With this in mind, a biological test is hypothesized which would make it possible to identify and isolate substances from definitely non-variant species with the purpose of studying their influence on the morphogenetic processes that, at cytoplasmatic level, bring about the transformation of normal into neoplastic cells. On this basis it might be possible to establish an inhibition therapy to back up immunitary therapy as a complement to surgery and radiation.

[Observations in sclerosing cholangitis].

Sclerosing cholangitis is a rare liver disease of unknown etiology with a slow but progressive course. The authors report their experience and illustrate some surgical procedures to preserve bile duct patency in view of a liver transplantation program.
