Recognizing malignant skin changes following breast cancer.

Estimates are that 180,000 cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in 1992. Breast conservation therapy is becoming the treatment of choice for many women. Physicians providing long-term care for these women must be aware of the cutaneous presentations of local metastatic or recurrent disease, including inflammatory, nodular, telangiectatic and scirrhous variants. In addition, radiation changes, as well as the development of a secondary malignancy at the site of previous radiation therapy, must be distinguished from metastatic breast lesions.

[A method for the reconstruction of perforating radiogenic defects of the auricle (author's transl)].

Perforating radiogenic defects of the auricle in the area of the cymba, conchal cavity and triangular fossa can be reconstructed in a one stage procedure by a pedicled composite flap of conchal cartilage and skin. The conchal donor area is covered with a free skin-fat-graft from the lobule or with a full-thickness retroauricular graft from the unaffected ear. The defect reconstruction on the retroauricular side can be carried out with a pedicled skin flap from the unaffected adjacent retroauricular region.

[Radiobiological research to optimize high-dose-rate afterloading therapy with Ir-192 in extragenital tumors].

Since the introduction of the high-dose rate afterloading therapy a higher biological effectivity of this method has been well known in comparison with the low-dose contact therapy. This will practically taken into account by reducing the dose and more fractionating of the total dose. With our test we want: firstly to prove the influence of the therapy break on the duration of the radiation reaction. Secondly we want to prove the influence of the dose rate on the efficiency of the radiation reaction. We have tried to answer the question by the animal model guinea pig skin. We examined early reactions as well late reactions.

[Port wine hemangioma].

Port wine stains are mainly due to an increase in the number or size of dermal capillary vessels. They are a natural disgrace which, in their most common form (i.e. isolated and non-systematized), requires a cosmetic treatment. It is for this purpose that various therapies were formerly prescribed with inconstant results. Since the development of lasers, notably the argon laser and, most recently, the pulsed dye laser, these treatments have become obsolete. Before they fall into oblivion, it must be remembered that until the seventies radiotherapy was part of the old methods and that all cases of port wine stain now seen in adults must be followed up with particular attention if they have received radiotherapy in their childhood.
