The Concept of Tenju-gann, or "Natural-End Cancer" T he concept of Tenju-gann proposed by Kitagawa et al. 1 and dis- cussed in the accompanying editorial by Kennedy 2 deserves broader application than these authors suggest. Although cancer is increasingly an illness of the elderly, there remains a

## BACKGROUND. The increasing use of systemic therapy for women with lymph node negative breast carcinoma and earlier stage of disease at mammographic detection raises questions regarding the need for routine axillary lymph node dissection. Predictive modeling for lymph node involvement may be on
## BACKGROUND. The prognosis of patients with T1 breast carcinoma remains controversial. Some studies have shown a low risk of lymph node metastasis and distant failure whereas others have not, possibly due to differences in the definition of tumor size. In this study, the authors assessed the rel
## BACKGROUND. Evidence that avoiding axillary lymph node dissection (AxD) strikes an appropriate balance between morbidity and recurrence risk in patients with invasive breast carcinoma generally is anecdotal and without a formally quantified basis. The current study presents a decision analysis o
## BACKGROUND. Lymph node metastasis is the oldest and most reliable prognostic indicator in breast carcinoma. In the absence of tumor metastasis, draining lymph nodes can undergo hyperplasia, resulting in increases in the number and size of detectable lymph nodes. The prognostic value of this proc
