The study was performed on the so-called normal mammary glands and lymphnodes. The difference between normal glands and mammary glands of breast cancer was discussed and studied.
Furthermore, X
133clearance as the new trial was attempted to the diagnosis on the breast cancer.
The results obtained were as follows :
1. 38.9% of so-called normal mammary glands have palpable tumors. Most of them are though to be mastopathie in clinical and 6.7% of these cases have palpable axillary lymph nodes.
2. 98.6% of chief complaint in breat cancer are distinct mammary tumor. In addition 61.8% in these cases have palpable lymph nodes.
3. As for the frequency of so-called normal mammary gland with palpable tumor, it was the highest in the age of 30 (69.2%) . On the contrary, as for the frequency of breast cancer, in the age of 40 (36.7%) .
4. Slight anemia was found in the breast cancer cases, but the disturbance of liver function was seldom seen.
5. Blood flow with X
133clearance curve was poorer in scirrhous carcinoma than other benign tumors. Therefore, the method of X
133clearance is thought to be a significant diagnostic tool for scirrhous carcinoma
