The article is written in response to the discussion, raised by L. Yu. Dymarsky and R. T. Popova on pages of the Journal "Voprosy Onkologii" No 8, 1978. The writers have observed 45 patients with bilateral involvement of mammary glands. In stages I and II the primary bilateral involvement of mammary glands was noted in 27 of 29 patients (93.1%), in stages III and IV metastatic cancer of the opposite gland prevailed in 62.5% (in 10 of 16 patients). To differentially diagnose between synchronous and metachronous primary cancers and secondary ones (metastatic) the clinical data may be value, first of all, the degree of spread of the tumor process and its localization. Therapeutic policy obligatory takes account of the primary or metastatic origin of a tumor in the opposite mammary gland. Sectorial resection of a symmetric portion of the second mammary gland simultaneously with mastectomy is indicated in case of clinical, roentgenological or cytologic suspicions of a neoplasm in it.

The authors studied alcoholic hepatosis and hepatic cirrhosis by laboratory, radioisotope and clinical methods. Most of the routine laboratory techniques, excluding hyperurobilinuria were not very informative in alcoholic hepatosis. Much more frequently it was possible to mark disturbances of the bromsulphaleinic and vofaverdine tests. Of special importance in the evaluation of the acuity and depth of the alcohol intoxication was glutamate and sorbitdehydrogenase. The most informative appeared to be radioisotope hepatography in the phase of alcohol hepatosis and scannography in the formation of liver cirrhosis.

The authors studied 1252 scannograms of 1170 patients. Plane image variants of the shape of normal, dystopic and maldeveloped thyroid gland were studied. Scannographic image of the structure of pathology of the organ and peculiarities of absorption and distribution of radioactive indicators (I131, Tc99m), depending on the histological picture of the pathological process and other factors stimulating or blocking its function are discussed. Practical significance of the method in clinical endocrinology is emphasized and sources of diagnostic errors possible in interpretation of the form and structure of the scannographic picture of the gland under normal and pathological conditions are elucidated.
