I agree voracious, wasn't one of the key points in the discussion section of the study about mortality of the women with non palpable lumps found with the mammograms compared with the control group? Better mammography equipment or radiologist training wouldn't have made any difference here.
Full disclosure - I was a part of this study, joined after turning 40 in 1984. I was dx with ILC at age 65 through a screening mammogram.

A study suggests that women who wait more than 60 days after surgery to
start chemotherapy are more likely to have the cancer come back
someplace in the body away from the breast (metastasize) and also are
less likely to survive compared to women who start chemotherapy within
30 days of surgery. Read more...

This conclusion is an analysis that involves women from "14 studies that started between 1964 and 1982" - a lot has changed in the way we treat breast cancer, particularly hormone positive breast cancer since these women were treated - did we even have Tamoxifen and Aromatase Inhibitors way back then? 1964 is 50 years ago...

there was no ink on the cancer tumor, should be the standard for
lumpectomy surgery. Read more...

I saw this article a few weeks back and was so relieved as I was left with a 0.4MM margin last year after my lumpectomy . My surgeon was already following the new guidelines of "no tumor on the ink " . She did not recommend a re-incision. She was aware of these new guidelines last yr. after some convention that she had attended . I was so glad to finally read about this as i have been having anxiety about the close margins ever since. This article make me feel soooo much better . Thanks Mods for posting .
