Abstract

Partial mastectomy without radiation therapy has been used at The Cleveland Clinic as a treatment option for selected patients with breast cancer since 1957. Our experience with 322 patients has been reviewed; survival results are equal to or better than the other operative procedures we have employed for the treatment of breast cancer. These results, we believe, relate more to the selection of patients with small tumors and at a more favorable stage of the disease than to the benefit of the operative procedure itself.

Axillary arch in Bulgarian population: clinical significance of the arches.

In order to study the incidence of the axillary arch in the Bulgarian population, we examined the axillary regions of 56 formol-carbol fixed human cadavers and observed two cases with a unilateral axillary arch. In the first case, the variant structure was situated on the right side of a 58-year-old female cadaver. The axillary arch extended from the lateral border of the latissimus dorsi to the posterior layer of the pectoralis major tendon. In the second case, the axillary arch was found on the left side of a 63-year-old male cadaver and had the same attachment points as in the first case. The innervation and blood supply of the arches are discussed. We have also reviewed extensive information concerning the clinical importance of the axillary arch, and for the first time, it was summarized clearly for clinicians. The summary consists of three parts: "diagnosis" of the axillary arch by physical investigation or imaging techniques; the axillary arch and surgical interventions in the region of the axilla; the axillary arch as an entrapment site for the axillary vessels and nerves.
