[Value of interoperative preparation radiography for the detection of minimal cancer (author's transl)].
The article reports on 31 carcinomas of the breast in the minimal cancer stage. This includes noninvasive and infiltrative carcinomas which had grown to a diameter of up to 5 mm. The patients were examined clinically, thermographically and by mammography. In 22 cases, puncture was performed under positional control of the puncture needle for the purpose of cytological or microhistological diagnosis. On the basis of these results, on-target extirpation of tissue was performed under control by interoperative preparation radiography in 24 patients; in 7 cases (29.1%) it became necessary to perform subsequent resection, in a few cases even repeatedly. It would not have been possible to detect these minimal cancers safely and to subsequently remove them by surgery without the aid of this interoperatively performed radiological examination.
