[Cancer control (author's transl)].

Evaluation of Success Figures and Incidence Data: The survival rates of patients with esophageal, bronchail and mammary carcinoma were determined at fixed intervals as specific mean values, including the dependence of the standard deviation on the size of the treatment collectives (n = 50, 100, 1000). In addition to the statistical margin of error, the percentage frequency of bronchial and mammary carcinomas and also of leukemia in childhood was calculated in numerical and age groups. The application is demonstrated with examples.

[The supposed cancer risk from mammography. Opposition to the assertions (author's transl)].

The view that exposure to diagnostic radiation presents a cancer risk to the female breast should be considered together with the fact that the major factor is ageing of the patient. This risk factor is hidden in experimental and statistical studies on cancer production by exongenous agents; for instance, in studies of radiation effects, it is inherent in the time taken. The assumption that mammography presents a cancer risk is unjustifiable and is denied.
