ON THE TREATMENT OF INOPERABLE CASES OF CARCINOMA OF THE MAMMA: SUGGESTIONS FOR A NEW METHOD OF TREATMENT, WITH ILLUSTRATIVE CASES.
Open accessAbstract
An early case of oophorectomy for treatment of breast cancer is pres ented. A 33-year-old woman who had already had a cancerous breast removed came to the hospital with recurrence of the disease. The case was so advanced further surgery was considered hopeless. The author details how studies of sheep made for his M.D. thesis on lactation led him to believe that there were similarities between the lactation process and the growth of breast cancer. Both have no apparent local nerve control in both there is proliferation of epithelial cells and in lactation control is held by a remote organ the ovaries. The author operated on the woman again removing the Fallopian tubes and ovaries. 8 months later all vestiges of the cancer had disappeared. 20 grains of thyroid extract daily were given and the woman continued in good health.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
