ABSTRACT

Breast conservation therapy is currently considered as a viable alternative to mastectomy in early breast cancer. Radiotherapy by virtue of its ability to reduce local recurrences is an integral component of breast conservation therapy. Apart from irradiating the whole breast, the tumor bed is usually delivered a boost dose in breast conservation therapy to increase the local control rate. One of the methods which has been adopted to selectively boost the tumor bed to high doses is the use of per-operative high dose rate interstitial implants. This particular paper deals with our department's experience with breast conservation therapy using per-operative template guided, High Dose Rate (HDR) interstitial implants in early breast cancer. Local control rates, disease free survival and cosmetic benefit with this technique will be discussed along with literature review.

ABSTRACT

Fifty cases of enlarged lymph nodes and fifteen cases of other tumours were selected and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and Imprint cytology was performed both as outpatient and pre-operative procedure. The aim of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of these methods of diagnosis. It was found that they are a rapid, easy and dependable method of diagnosis for all practising surgeons especially in semi-urban and small hospitals.

ABSTRACT

Isoproterenol, as an exercise simulating agent, was evaluated in twenty subjects, ten normal volunteers and ten with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Both groups were evaluated using 0.5 ug increments of intravenous infusion of isoproterenol every 3 minutes with computerised ECG (Marquette Electronics--MAC PC) monitoring. The normal volunteers did not have significant ST segment depression even at heart rates of 130 BPM. The CAD groups showed diagnostic ischaemic ST segment depression at heart rates below 130 BPM. None of the subjects had any serious complications during or after the test. Isoproterenol infusion is a better alternative to exercise testing.
