| Abstract: | In the differential clinical diagnosis of mammary neoplasms, adenocarcinoma can safely be excluded only after biopsy and microscopic study.In a series of 177 cases of mammary cancer treated by surgery with x-ray therapy, 30.4 per cent of the patients are alive three years or more after treatment; 18 per cent five years or longer.Only one of every four patients presents herself with a lesion still within the breast. Exclusive of Group I this results in a cure in 86.1 per cent in Group II and 15.4 per cent in Group III. The mortality rate then increases five and one-half times as spread occurs beyond the breast.The results of irradiation therapy for curative purposes in recurrent or metastatic mammary adenocarcinoma are poor. Percentage of cure by stages. | Stage | Patients Treated | Per Cent Cures | | I | 1 | 100.0 | | II and IIa | 40 | 86.1 | | III and IIIa | 130 | 15.4 |
