Report on pilot study of treatment of breast cancer by quadrantic excision with axillary dissection and no other therapy.
This paper is a report on a pilot study designed to test the hypothesis that with a negative node status minimal surgery and conservation of the breast is indicated. The preliminary figures giving the recurrence rate and survival time tentatively suggest that this is true.
Clinical study of recurrence rate and survival time of patients with carcinoma of the breast treated by biopsy excision without any other therapy.
We report the recurrence rate and survival time in 31 patients with carcinoma of the breast who were treated by limited excision of the primary tumour and no other therapy. At three years the overall recurrence rate in the breast was 28%. One patient was found to have systemic disease and two died of other causes. The overall recurrence rate in the breast at five years was 33%. One patient died of disseminated disease at 6 years 4 months.

Cardiovascular risk stability: from grade school to high school.
School-based, cardiovascular risk reduction programs have increased dramatically over the past decade. Though a wide range of evaluation plans have been implemented, limited longitudinal data are available to estimate the effectiveness of these risk reduction programs. The purposes of this study were to describe the stability of risk factors, the changes in cardiovascular risk from grade school to high school, and the differences in risk between gender. The sample (N = 195) of high school students was developed from three cohorts of elementary school students who participated in a risk reduction program in the sixth grade. Three to six years had elapsed since the students participated in the risk reduction program, thus providing a longitudinal view of participants' risk. Subject risk for obesity and high cholesterol level was stable although significant changes were noted for heart rate recovery and blood pressure. The only gender difference in risk was for elevated cholesterol level among female students. Nursing implications are presented.
