ABSTRACT
The authors performed a total of 237 endolaser treatments for insufficiency of great and small saphenous veins and assessed 5-year results. It was found that this method, especially if performed with a 1470-nm-wavelength laser combined with instrumental removal of some lateral veins, was very effective. It was delicate for patients, and it significantly shortened the length of their work incapacity. The benefits of removal of insufficient veins in a whole leg during a single session with the patient under total anesthesia are stressed.

The aim of this paper is presentation a new knowledge about surgical therapy of the invasive lobular breast cancers. Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) accounts for 5% to 10% of all invasive breast cancers. Although breast conservation therapy using local excision and postoperative irradiation is a standard therapy for early invasive ductal breast cancer, the result of this strategy in ILC is not well documented. Overall survival and local recurrance (ILC) is not affected by the type of surgical treatment- breast conservation surgery or total mastectomy.
