[Mammary carcinoma: prognosis value of intra-mammary spread (author's transl)].

At the conclusion of this study based on 327 cases of breast cancer T1, T2 T3 (less than 7 cm) No, N1, Mo Pev O, treated by mastectomy and axillary dissection without previous treatment, it appears that the microscopic dissemination to the nipple has a pejorative prognosis value. The 5 years is 84 p. 100 when there is no nipple dissemination, 74 p. 100 when there is an intraductal nipple dissemination, and 57 p. 100 when there is lymphatic or interstitial nipple dissemination. These differences have a statistical value. This value does not seem connected with other pathological prognosis factors: tumors size, Bloom histopronostic grading, and the number of nodes invaded. The intra-mammary spread without nipple involvment has no prognostical value.

[Cancer mortality in France. New Aspects of the presentation and analysis of data].

In France mortality statistics are the only complete source of information on cancer. Investigation of the annual figures and the application of statistical methods to their presentation and analysis has facilitated fresh studies of geographical pathology, utilizing methods of analysis with simple and multiple correlations (analysis of correlations). Certain groupings were thus revealed, notably in the case of death from bronchial carcinoma, urinary bladder and gall bladder. Two groups of departements appeared the nearest to the national levels for deaths from cancer for all body sites.

[Epidemiologic studies on the role of tobacco in various human cancers].

The totality of epidemiological research over the last 25 years in the field of the relationship between tobacco consumption and the chance of developing certain cancers has demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt that the use of tobacco is implicated in the genesis of a certain number of cancers of the respiratory tract and the upper air and food passages. The most important relationship concerns carcinoma of the bronchus, currently the most frequently encountered in men, for which the incidence risk is directly related to the use of cigarettes and which rises with the amount smoked and with inhaling. Other possible aetiological factors, particularly occupational exposure to chemical and radio active agents, whilst interesting are none the less marginal. The ramifications of epidemiologic and experimental researchs lead us to envisage a multifactorial aetiology in which tobacco is a constant element. Avoidance of exposure would play a major role in prevention.
