[The value of mammary thermography. A report on 655 cases (author's transl)].

A total of 655 patients were investigated by both mammography and contact thermography, and 63 cancers of the breast were detected. Thermography was slightly more sensitive (0.82) than mammography (0.75). They were of equal specificity (0.96 and 0.97). A critical analysis of the experimental conditions, however, leads the authors to propose thermography as the essential investigation completing clinical examination and mammography. It may also have a certain prognostic value, but this remains to be demonstrated.

[Value of the study of plasma estrogens in the exploration of gynecomastia. Apropos of 48 cases].

Starting from 48 cases of gynecomastia, the authors report the following findings: -- Impairment of the testis function, as assessed by a low plasma level of testosterone, is rare. -- Basal values of gonadotropins are generally normal. -- Increased oestrogen urinary excretion and blood level are rarely found but, when present, they tend to decrease at successive evaluations. -- In six cases, plasmatic oestradiol can be suppressed by dexamethasone; although the small number of cases does not allow a definite conclusion, one might suggest a predominant adrenal source of plasmatic oestradiol.
