✦ Synopsis
Comparative evaluation of clinical, radiological and anatomical measurements of mammary tumours
A study of two series of non‐irradiated benign and malignant breast tumours, operated on at the Gustave‐Roussy Institute, showed that radiological evaluation of a tumour's diameter was far closer to the actual anatomical diameter than was its clinical evaluation.
Various factors capable of influencing the indirect assessment of size have been successively studied—limitation, localization, histological type, age, etc.
Finally, the authors considered the possibility of replacing the clinical diameter of tumours by their radiological diameter in the TNM classification system.
