[Ten-years analysis of cancer of the female breast (author's transl)].

Today cancer of the breast is the most frequent fatal carcinoma of women. To detect breast carcinoma at an early stage, it is necessary to do mass screening and not to wait until women detect a nodule by chance in their breasts. In the last 2 years 530 women with diagnostically uncertain breast tumours were seen in the outpatient department, 79 of them turned out to be carcinomatous. From 1966 to 1975 246 women underwent a Halsted-Rotter procedure for breast carcinoma. The average age, histological findings and rate of survival are analysed.

Sodium cromoglycate (intal) in the treatment of vernal keratoconjunctivitis and allergic conjunctivitis.

Intal drops (sodium cromoglycate) relieved symptoms of vernal conjunctivitis in all the 19 patients we studied, reducing the need for steroids although the response varied. Intal was also effective in all 11 patients with acute or subacute seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, but in only 4 of 11 patients with mild chronic conjunctivitis associated with atopy. No side-effects were noted other than mild irritation in some cases.
