Non-surgical management of early breast cancer in the United Kingdom: ductal carcinoma in situ. Clinical Audit Sub-committee of the Faculty of Clinical Oncology, Royal College of Radiologists, and the Joint Council for Clinical Oncology.

This paper describes the results of a national survey on the non-surgical treatment of early breast cancer in the UK relating to the management of ductal carcinoma in-situ (DCIS), and the rationale for the current status of the UK DCIS trial. The survey shows that there is considerable clinical uncertainty, which can only be resolved by the trial.

Effects of radiation on the visual appearance and mechanical properties of mouse skin.

A study of the long term effects of radiation on the visual appearance and mechanical properties of mouse skin is presented. The effects associated with the hair follicle (greying and alopecia) increase monotonically with exposure. Other effects (load, extension and stress at rupture and scarring of the skin) all show a reversal at the highest exposures. The skin thickness changes little with exposure, while the skin stiffness exhibits a shoulder on the response curve. Possible mechanisms underlying these effects are discussed.
