[edit] This

THis would benefit from a link or addition of the time-course of the discovery that micrometastasis means wide excision is not effective, and by link or insertion discussion of whether Robert S. Mendelsohn was an early discusser of evidence-based treatment, or a nut on this. Midgley 11:29, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Etymology

Where does the word "mastectomy" derive from ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Omega Man (talk • contribs) 00:16, 14 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] First Reference

The bibliography for the first reference is unacceptable. Clicking the link takes you to a page without any obvious hint to take you to the referenced study. Additionally, doing an OVID search on "Intergroup Exemestane Study" produces several papers.

Can anyone point me to the right paper that this fact was mentioned in?

I hope in the future a real bibliographical format instead of weblinks would be used, as the internet tends to shift. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Furio83 (talk • contribs) 20:42, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
