Twenty-eight patients with locally advanced breast cancer per cent. In 33 per cent of patients the lateral thoracic received four doses of regional chemotherapy via artery did not contribute to breast perfusion and a large angiographically placed percutaneous catheters into the area of the lateral aspect of the breast was perfused from internal mammary artery (IMA) and lateral thoracic a further branch of the subclavian or axillary artery. The artery. Patent blue dye was injected to outline the relative blood supply to the breast is extremely variable and must contribution to perfusion of each of these vessels. The be determined in each patient before delivering regional IMA was found to perfuse 67 (range 20-95) per cent of chemotherapy. the breast and the lateral thoracic artery 15 (range 0-35)

Rest results have been observed in head and neck, limb, and liver cancer, as the specific vascularization of these area
## BACKGROUND. Mammographic and physical examination assessments of the response of locally advanced breast carcinoma (LABC) to neoadjuvant therapy have been shown to be inaccurate. The authors studied the feasibility and accuracy of [technetium 99m]-sestamibi (MIBI) for monitoring the response of
## BACKGROUND. In a previous study the authors demonstrated, using immunohistochemical methods for epithelial antigens, that the regional lymph nodes of gastric adenocarcinoma contained individual tumor cells or small clusters of these cells (tumor cell microinvolvement [TCM]) in over 90% of cases
