Phyllodes tumour (PT) is a rare neoplasm of the female breast that resembles fibroadenoma but occurs in an older age group. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 30 women who were treated for phyllodes tumour in our centre. Histological examination was performed by an experienced breast pathologist in all cases and tumours were classified as benign, border line malignant or malignant according to standard histological criteria. The mean age at diagnosis was 49 years (range: 19-80 years). Twenty-one (70%) of 30 tumours were benign and 9 (30%) were malignant (n=7) or borderline malignant (n=2). The mean tumour size was 46 mm (range: 20-100 mm). The final microscopic margins contained tumour in 13 (43%) of 30 cases and were free of tumour in 17 (57%) of 30 patients. After a median follow-up period of 6 years (range: 6 months-20 years), the tumour recurred locally in 5 (17%) patients. One patient had six local recurrences over an 18-year period. Local recurrences were more frequently observed in patients with malignant tumours compared with those with benign lesions (33% versus 10%). However, this association failed to reach statistical significance. There was no association between local recurrence, patient age, tumour size or positive microscopic margins. There was one death (3%) associated with a completely excised malignant tumour. The present study suggests that histological type and margins do not accurately predict the clinical course of PT and that there is a need to identify novel biological markers that more accurately predict the behaviour of this rare neoplasm. 相似文献

Breast density, a strong risk factor for breast cancer, is reduced by the anti-estrogen, tamoxifen (TAM). We examined whether aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy results in further reductions in breast density among women completing 5 years of TAM. Among a sample of women with early-onset breast cancer who were randomized to letrozole (LET)(n=56) or placebo (PLAC)(n=48) after 5 years of TAM, we examine the change in percent density at 9-15 months as well as a per-year change in PD by treatment group. There was no difference in the adjusted mean change (-1.0%, LET; -0.3%, PLAC (P=0.58)) or the percentage change (-2.7%, LET; -3.0%, PLAC (P=0.96)) in PD between treatment groups at 9-15 months. Results were similar for longitudinal change (-0.68% per year, LET; -0.12% per year, PLAC (P=0.23)). Breast density does not appear to be a clinically relevant biomarker in women who already have low PD following 5 years of TAM. 相似文献

Fibroadenomas are the commonest breast masses requiring surgery in the adolescent female, but multiple and giant tumours are rare. This case report describes the history and management of a teenager who had multiple giant fibroadenomas in one breast, eventually requiring mastectomy and reconstruction. The literature is reviewed. Tumours in this age group are almost always benign, even the giant and phyllodes tumours. Malignant tumours are extremely rare. Management should involve excision with skin reduction if necessary. The breast should be preserved if at all possible. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine the outcome of men presenting with clinical breast problems for breast imaging and to evaluate the role of mammography and ultrasound in the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast problems. We retrospectively reviewed clinical, radiographic, and pathologic records of 165 consecutive symptomatic men presenting to Breast Imaging over a 4 year period. We assessed the clinical indication for referral, mammographic findings, sonographic findings, histologic results, and clinical outcomes. Patients ranged in age from 22 to 96 years. Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category 4 and 5 mammograms and solid sonographic masses were considered suspicious for malignancy. Six of 165 men (4%) had primary breast carcinoma, which were mammographically suspicious in all 6 (100%). Five were invasive ductal carcinoma and one was ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Of 164 mammograms, 20 (12%) were suspicious. Six were cancer and 14 were benign. Clinical follow-up for 2 years or biopsy results were available for 138 of the 165 men (84%). Twelve with benign mammographic findings had benign biopsies. All men with benign mammography not undergoing biopsy were cancer free. Sensitivity for cancer detection (mammography) was 100% and specificity was 90%. Positive predictive value (mammography) was 32% (6 of 19) and the negative predictive value was 100%. Sonography was performed in 68 of the 165 men (41%). Three of three cancers (100%) were solid sonographic masses. There were 9 of 68 false-positive examinations (13%). Sensitivity and negative predictive value for cancer detection (ultrasound) was 100% and specificity was 74%. The most common clinical indication for referral was mass/thickening (56%). Mammography had excellent sensitivity and specificity for breast cancer detection and should be included as the initial imaging examination of men with clinical breast problems. The negative predictive value of 100% for mammography suggests that mammograms read as normal or negative need no further examination if the clinical findings are not suspicious. A normal ultrasound in these men confirms the negative predictive value of a normal mammogram. 相似文献

The management of lobular neoplasia (LN) found on percutaneous core biopsy remains a clinical dilemma. The purpose of this study was to establish guidelines for the management of LN when obtained on percutaneous core needle biopsy. A retrospective review of the Breast Imaging Tissue Sampling Database at New York Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia Comprehensive Breast Center was performed from 1998 to 2000. A total of 1460 percutaneous core breast biopsies were performed using 11- or 14-gauge needles with LN identified in 43 biopsies from 34 patients. Eleven biopsies were ultrasound guided for nonpalpable masses and 32 were stereotactically guided for mammographically detected densities (10) and microcalcifications (22). The 43 LN biopsies were divided into three groups based on additional findings associated with LN on core biopsy: group I (n = 19), LN with invasive cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS); group II (n = 11), LN plus a second indication for open surgical biopsy, such as atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH), radial scar, phyllodes tumor, or intraductal papilloma; and group III (n = 13), LN plus benign fibrocystic changes. In group I, 19 of 19 biopsies (100%) yielded invasive cancer or DCIS on surgical biopsy versus 3 of 11 (27%) for group II, and 1 of 13 (8%) for group III. Outcomes in group III are described as follows: three patients were lost to follow-up, three patients did not undergo surgical biopsy but demonstrated more than 1 year of mammographic stability following core biopsy. Of the remaining seven patients, two had LN and ADH on surgical biopsy (one had a contralateral cancer), one had atypical lobular hyperplasia (with a contralateral cancer), two had LN and benign fibrocystic changes, one had LN and intraductal papilloma, and one had LN and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) with DCIS (with a contralateral cancer). These results suggest that surgical biopsy is indicated for patients with LN when found on core biopsy and when the biopsy demonstrates invasive cancer, DCIS, or other indications for surgical biopsy such as ADH, or in the examination of a patient with a synchronous contralateral breast cancer. The diagnosis of LN alone without these indications on percutaneous biopsy may not warrant routine surgical biopsy. 相似文献

The records of 207 patients evaluated and treated for breast abnormalities during a 10-yr period were reviewed. Patients ranged in age from 1 wk through 16 yr. Seventy-eight per cent were female. Operative procedures were performed in 134 patients (64%). Most common diagnoses were fibroadenoma, premature thelarche, and precocious puberty in the females, and pubertal gynecomastia in the males. Age and sex separate patients into natural subgroups. In females beyond the neonatal period, premature thelarche and precocious puberty are the most likely cause of breast enlargement. Breast biopsy is only rarely indicated for a distinct mass lesion in the prepubertal breast. Mass lesions in the breast of adolescent females require excisional biopsy. In the male, pubertal gynecomastia is the most common form of breast enlargement and only occasionally requires subcutaneous mastectomy for cosmetic and psychologic reasons. Careful evaluation of all children with breast enlargement is indicated to uncover underlying causes and to avoid unnecessary operative procedures. 相似文献

Seventy-three laparoscopic procedures were performed for the treatment of focal lesions of the liver. Fifty-four patients had operations for non-parasitic cysts of the liver and cystic disease. Polycystic disease of the liver was in 8 patients. Multiple cysts were in 19 patients, solitary - in 27. A total of 139 cysts were treated. Surgery was performed with the standard technique. Atypical marginal resection of the liver was performed in 16 patients for hemangioma (n=8), nodular hyperplasia (n=2), hepatic metastases (n=5), hamartoma (n=1). Atypical marginal resection by type of peritumor resection was conducted in 5 cases, and it was similar to segmentectomy in 11 cases. Laparoscopic cryodestruction of benign tumors and hepatic metastases was performed in 3 patients including in combination with atypical marginal resection in 2 cases. There were no intrasurgical complications which required laparotomies. There were no hemotransfusions. Long-term results were followed-up from 1 to 3 years in 25 patients with hepatic cysts and from 3 months to 3 years in 7 patients after marginal resection for hemangiomas and fibronodular hyperplasia. Ultrasonic examination revealed no recurrences of the disease. 相似文献

Breast cancer in males is much rare than in females so in practice, male breast cancer treatment is likely to follow the guidelines developed for female breast cancer patients. The objective of this study is to compare the characteristics and treatment pattern of male breast cancer patients with comparable subgroups of female breast cancer patients using data submitted to the National Breast Cancer Audit.This is a retrospective analysis of 151 male breast cancers diagnosed and treated between 2000 and 2008. Most of the male early breast cancer cases in this group were symptomatic ones in men aged > 50 years with one invasive tumour. There was a similar proportion of lymph node positive cancer among males and females, although male breast cancer was more likely to be unifocal (P = 0.007) and oestrogen receptor positive (P = 0.001). Male breast cancer patients almost always underwent mastectomy and a significant proportion of them (11%) received no surgical treatment. There were no differences in axillary surgery although males were more likely to undergo a level 2 axillary surgery and less likely to have sentinel node biopsy. Male patients were significantly less likely to undergo radiotherapy, chemotherapy or hormonal therapy for oestrogen receptor positive tumours.Conclusion: While the female oriented treatment guidelines are available, male patients with early breast cancer received different surgical and adjuvant treatment from comparable females. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Our aim was to correlate the radiologic characteristics of cyclosporine-induced benign breast diseases with clinical and pathologic findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The clinical, mammographic, and ultrasonographic records of 33 female renal transplant recipients who received cyclosporine were retrospectively reviewed. Eleven patients had 46 breast masses on ultrasonography. We performed core needle biopsies on 20 masses and reviewed the pathologic findings. RESULTS: Among 33 female renal transplant recipients, 11 (33%) had 46 benign breast lesions detected on ultrasonography. We performed core needle biopsies on 20 of the 46 masses. On pathologic examination, 12 were fibroadenomas, 6 showed fibrocystic changes, and 2 revealed dense fibrosis. Regardless of the final pathologic diagnosis, more than half of the lesions revealed severe lymphatic and venular swellings. Among 11 patients with breast lesions on ultrasonography, 10/11 (91%) showed multiplicity, and 7/11 (64%) bilaterality. Mammographically, patients with breast lesions revealed heterogeneous or extremely dense breast patterns, and 8 of 11 patients, circumscribed masses. Twenty-two patients without breast lesions showed scattered fibroglandular densities (n = 7), or heterogeneously dense (n = 11) or extremely dense (n = 4) breast patterns, and 3 of 22 patients showed vague or asymmetric densities that needed further evaluation. CONCLUSION: The development of new breast lesions in patients after renal transplantation should suggest a diagnosis of cyclosporine-induced benign breast disease including fibroadenoma, fibrocystic changes, and dense fibrosis. 相似文献

A mortality-free decade of pancreatoduodenectomy: is quality independent of quantity? 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for periampullary cancer is a procedure of high morbidity and poor long-term survival. Superior clinical outcome has been described in high-volume institutions or for surgeons with a high case load. All patients undergoing pancreatectomy at the City of Hope National Medical Center (Duarte, CA) between 1987 and 1998 were analyzed retrospectively for postoperative outcome, and correlating or predictive clinicopathological factors were identified. Fifty-four patients underwent pancreatectomy [PD, n = 43; pylorus-preserving PD, n = 8; total pancreatectomy, n = 3]. There were 26 males and 28 females, with a median age of 63 years (range, 19-86). Fifty patients had a malignant diagnosis, and four patients had a benign diagnosis. Nine surgical oncologists performed an average of six pancreatectomies (range, 2-8). There was no perioperative death. Postoperative complications occurred in 30 patients, and infections predominated (n = 17). The median hospital stay was 16.5 days. The median postoperative actuarial survival by cancer site was 56 months (ampullary/ bile duct), 32.5 months (duodenal), 22.5 months (pancreatic), and 23.2 months (others). In this 11-year single institutional experience, PD and total pancreatectomy have been performed without lethal complication. In the setting of an exclusive oncology practice, operative mortality rates and survival outcome can be generated that compare favorably to large center experiences. Quality of outcome after pancreatectomy can be independent of quantity. 相似文献

Mammotome biopsy is an effective, minimally invasive, novel technique used in the verification of breast lesions.The aim of the study was to assess the value of ultrasound-guided vacuum-assisted core needle biopsy (mammotome biopsy) in the diagnostics and treatment of nodular breast lesions, considering own data.Material and methods. Analysis comprised 1183 mammotome biopsies under ultrasound control performed in 1177 female patients during the period between 2000 and 2010, at the Regional Clinic for Early Diagnostics and Treatment of Breast Lesions, I Chair and Department of General Surgery, Jagiellonian University, Collegium Medicum.Results. The average patient age amounted to 41.7 years. The size of the investigated lesions ranged between 4 and 65 mm (mean - 12 mm). The histopathological examination result was as follows: fibrocystic lesions (n=285), adenofibroma (n=477), adenosis sclerosans (n=188), hyperplasia without atypy (n=58), phyllode tumor (n=2), papilloma (n=14), hamartoma (n=1), atypical hyperplasia (n=25), in situ ductal carcinoma (n=4), in situ lobular carcinoma (n=5), infiltrating ductal carcinoma (n=114), infiltrating lobular carcinoma (n=4), non-diagnostic result (n=6). The histopathological diagnosis was obtained in 99.5% of cases. Patients diagnosed with atypical hyperplasia or cancer were qualified for surgery, according to accepted standards. The presence of a hematoma was the most common complication after the biopsy, observed in 16.5% of patients.Conclusions. The obtained results confirmed the high value of ultrasound-guided biopsies in the diagnostics of nodular breast lesions. The method is safe, minimally invasive, with few complications, providing a good cosmetic effect. In case of benign lesions with a diameter of less than 15 mm the mammotome biopsy enables to completely excise the lesions, being an alternative to open surgical biopsies. The mammotome biopsy should become the method of choice considering the diagnostics of nodular breast lesions. 相似文献

With the increases in complexity of care for breast health concerns, there is a growing need for efficient and effective clinical evaluation, especially for vulnerable populations at risk for poor outcomes. The Breast Health Center at Boston Medical Center is a multidisciplinary program, with internists providing care alongside breast surgeons, radiologists, and patient navigators. Using a triage system previously shown to have high provider and patient satisfaction, and the ability to provide timely care, patients are assigned to either a breast surgeon or internist. From 2007 to 2009, internists cared for 2,408 women, representing half of all referrals. Women served were diverse in terms of race (33% black, 30% Hispanic, 5% Asian), language (34% require language interpreter), and insurance status (51% had no insurance or public insurance). Most presented with an abnormal screen (breast examination 54% or imaging 4%) while the remainder were seen for symptoms such as pain (26%), non-bloody nipple discharge (4%), or risk assessment (7%). A majority of final diagnoses were made through clinical evaluation alone (n = 1,760, 73%), without the need for additional diagnostic imaging or tissue sampling; 9% (n = 214) received a benign diagnosis with the aid of breast imaging; 19% (n = 463) required tissue sampling. Only 4% went on to see a breast surgeon. Internists diagnosed 15 incident cancers with a median time to diagnosis of 19 days. Patient and provider satisfaction was high. These data suggest that a group of appropriately trained internists can provide quality breast care to a vulnerable population in a multidisciplinary setting. Replication of this model requires the availability of more clinical training programs for non-surgical providers. 相似文献

Cystosarcoma phylloides in the adolescent female 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Between 1979 and 1985, five adolescent females have undergone excision of cystosarcoma phylloides. Mean age at presentation was 15 years with a range of 13 to 18 years. Clinical characteristics unique to this diagnosis included a recent history of rapid growth and the large size of the breast mass (mean diameter 7 cm) at initial presentation. Each patient underwent "cosmetic" excisional biopsy utilizing either a circumareolar or inframammary approach. In four patients, the neoplasm was benign with no postoperative recurrence (mean follow-up 33.8 months). The remaining lesion was malignant (liposarcoma) and subsequent simple mastectomy was performed. There was no evidence of disease at 35 months. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to verify, by a prospective multicenter evaluation, if the results attributed to tension-free procedures were obtained in current practice. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From 1994 to 1997, 398 patients were operated on by three surgical teams. There were 357 men and 4 women (mean age: 58.5 years, range: 25-90). The hernia was bilateral in 37 patients and 435 hernias were treated by Perfix plug (n = 322), Gilbert plug (n = 76) or by Lichtenstein procedure (n = 37), according to the choice of the surgeon. In tension-free procedures, sutures under tension were replaced by a mesh or a plug without any approximation of the margins of the hernial orifice. The procedure was performed under local (n = 316), epidural (n = 94), or general (n = 25) anesthesia. RESULTS: There were no postoperative deaths. There were 19 postoperative benign complications (4.4%). The duration of analgesics consumption, postoperative hospital stay, cessation of normal activities and work (mean [SD] [range]) were 3.3 days ([3.9] [0-60]), 1.3 day ([1.1] [0-16]), 4.5 days ([3.1] [0-34]) and 15.4 days ([10.2] [0-60]) respectively. With a mean follow-up of 36 months ([14] [6-67]), 423 hernias (97.2%) were assessed. Two (0.5%) recurrences occurred. Twenty three patients had secondarily troubles (5.8%): 21 patients complained of chronic pain, one had testis atrophy and one plug had to be removed. CONCLUSION: These results confirm that tension-free procedures are minimally invasive, induce few benign postoperative complications and low pain, allow early return to normal activity, and are followed by few recurrences. 相似文献

Abstract: Breast ultrasound using a high-resolution, realtime, hand-held probe was performed on 19, 714 patients. Ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy was done on 2,453 solid masses. We report on 2,075 of these lesions, 629 malignant and 1,446 benign, confirmed either by excisional biopsy or adequate follow-up. Of the cancers, 597 (95%) had either malignant or suspicious cytology with 1 false positive case and 32 false negative cytologic results. The diagnosis of cancer was delayed in four patients because of benign appearances on imaging and cytology. Surgery was performed promptly after the first imaging follow-up in each case. There was no delay in diagnosis in the remaining 11 patients because of the suspicious appearance of the masses on mammogram. Mammography missed 147 (23%) of the 629 cancers, 102 of which were clinically palpable. Forty-five cancers were both nonpalpable and not seen by mammogram (incidental cancers). A correct cytologic diagnosis, either fibroadenoma or nonspecific benign, was made in 1,339 of the 1,446 benign masses. The sensitivity of this technique in the diagnosis of solid breast lesions was 95%, the specificity was 93%, and the overall accuracy was 93%. We conclude that real-time, ultra sound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology is a valuable adjunct to the clinical, mammographic, and sonographic assessment of solid breast lesions. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of endovascular and open surgical reconstructions in patients with superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome caused by nonmalignant disease. METHODS: Clinical data from 32 consecutive patients who underwent endovascular or open surgical reconstruction of central veins because of symptomatic benign SVC syndrome between November 1983 and June 2001 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: The study included 17 male and 15 female patients (mean age, 38 years; range, 5-69 years). Presenting symptoms were head fullness (n = 26), dyspnea or orthopnea (n = 23), headache (n = 17), or dizziness (n = 11); physical signs were head swelling (n = 31), chest wall collateral vessels (n = 29), facial cyanosis (n = 18), or arm swelling (n = 17). Etiologic factors included mediastinal fibrosis (n = 19), indwelling catheter (n = 8), idiopathic thrombosis (n = 4), or post-surgery (n = 1). Two patients were heterozygous for factor V Leiden; 1 patient had antithrombin III deficiency. Twenty-nine patients underwent surgical reconstruction with 31 bypass grafts: spiral saphenous vein (n = 20), superficial femoral vein (n = 4), human allograft (n = 1), or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE, n = 6). Eleven patients underwent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty or stenting; 3 primary and 8 secondary endovascular procedures were performed to treat graft stenosis (n = 7) or occlusion (n = 1). There were no early deaths. Five early graft failures in 3 ePTFE grafts and 2 bifurcated vein grafts (thrombosis, n = 4; stenosis, n = 1) were successfully treated with open surgical revision. Over a mean follow-up of 5.6 years (range, 0.4-16.6 years) in surgical patients, 17 additional secondary interventions were performed in 8 patients, 14 endovascular and 3 surgical. Primary, assisted primary, and secondary patency rates of surgical bypass grafts were 63%, 79%, and 85%, respectively, at 1 year, and 53%, 68%, and 80%, respectively, at 5 years. Graft patency was significantly higher in vein grafts compared with ePTFE grafts (P =.02). Mean follow-up after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty or stenting was 3.1 years (range, 1 day-11.7 years). Twelve secondary endovascular interventions were performed in 6 patients (primary group, 3 of 3; secondary group, 3 of 9 grafts in 8 patients) to maintain patency in 11 of 12 reconstructions. Mean follow-up in the entire patient cohort was 5.3 years (range, 0.4-16.6 years). In 79% of patients symptoms had resolved or were significantly improved at last follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Surgical treatment of benign SVC syndrome is effective over the long term, with secondary endovascular interventions to maintain graft patency. Straight spiral saphenous vein graft remains the conduit of choice for surgical reconstruction, with results superior to those with bifurcated vein and ePTFE. Endovascular treatment is effective over the short term, with frequent need for repeat interventions. It does not adversely affect future open surgical reconstruction and may prove to be a reasonable primary intervention in selected patients. Patients who are not suitable for or who fail endovascular intervention merit open surgical reconstruction. 相似文献

Cardiovascular disease in pediatric chronic dialysis patients 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
BACKGROUND: Little information is available regarding cardiac morbidity and mortality in children with end-stage renal disease. We sought to determine the incidence of cardiac morbidity and mortality in pediatric chronic dialysis patients. METHODS: Medicare incident pediatric (0 to 19 years) dialysis patients from 1991 to 1996 were identified from the United States Renal Data System. Study endpoints included development of arrhythmia, valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy, or cardiac arrest, all causes of death, and cardiac-related death. Statistical analyses were performed using the Poisson regression model and chi-square test. RESULTS: A total of 1454 children were eligible for inclusion, 452 (31.1%) of whom developed a cardiac-related event. Arrhythmia was the most common event (19.6%) compared with valvular disease (11.7%), cardiomyopathy (9.6%), and cardiac arrest (3%). Arrhythmia and valvular heart disease incidence were increased in 15- to 19-year-olds (P < 0.0001 for both), females (P = 0.004, P = 0.03) and blacks (P < 0.0001, P = 0.002). Cardiomyopathy incidence was increased in blacks (P = 0.001) and tended to be increased in females (P = 0.053). The adjusted annual cardiomyopathy rate during the first 3 years increased between 1991 and 1996 (P = 0.003). Death occurred in 107 patients, and 41 (38%) were cardiac deaths. CONCLUSIONS: Cardiovascular disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric chronic dialysis patients. Cardiomyopathy incidence is increasing. Black, female, and adolescent children have increased risk for cardiovascular disease. 相似文献

Although rare, breast cancer in males represents 1% of all cancer in men, and has shown increasing incidence in 25 years. To analyze age, gender, type of procedure performed and diagnosis of all cases of breast diseases in a public hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil, with special focus on men. Cross‐sectional study of breast surgery in 2010‐2014 at Hospital Municipal Universitario de Sao Bernardo do Campo, Brazil. In the period 999 breast surgery were carried out. Patients with benign diseases were about 30 years old and patients with malignant diseases were over 50. Most surgical procedures performed on men were on the benign condition of gynaecomastia (n=21). The prevalence of breast cancer in the male population attending the public health system in Sao Bernardo was 0.27 (per 100,000). There was a single record of malignant disease in men, a 65 years old man, with histological diagnosis of ductal carcinoma. Surgical pathology of the breast in men is a rare event, and accounts for about 2.4% of mammary surgery in the municipality of São Bernardo do Campo. Awareness is necessary for health professionals and the media, regarding breast pathologies in the male population, to reduce the prejudice in the search for an early diagnosis of a condition so strongly linked to the female for the majority of people. 相似文献
