Is a short-interval postradiation mammogram necessary after conservative surgery and radiation in breast cancer?
The yield of the initial postradiation mammography at UCLA seems to be low, and only noninvasive carcinomas were found. Our data support the rationale to avoid the initial short-interval postradiation mammography and evaluate patients at 12 months.
If these findings correlated with the conditions in vivo, the use of probiotics based on L. acidophilus or its presence in the vaginal microbiota would not protect against the adhesion of C. albicans to the ring.
