Milosevic seems determined to make the proceedings a spectacle of courtroom subversion, refusing to recognize the tribunal, refusing to enter a plea, refusing to select defense lawyers, refusing even...
That's not the only dilemma with DCIS. Radiologists don't actually see a DCIS lesion--they see its footprint in the calcified remains of dead and dying cells. What makes mammography as much an art as a science is that these so-called microcalcifications are often just a normal part of breast anatomy. It's the pattern of microcalcifications--whether new ones appear suddenly or line up in particular formations like soldiers in a row--that suggests something more sinister...
That may change as scientists learn more about the genetic alterations that transform a normal cell into a malignant one. Last month a group of scientists from the U.S. and the Netherlands published a paper in the research journal Nature describing a molecular test they have developed that may predict, at the time of surgery, which cancers will be likely to metastasize--and therefore might benefit from chemotherapy. Using so-called DNA microarrays, the researchers analyzed some 25,000 genes from the breast cancers of 100 women. By winnowing the number of relevant markers to about 70 genes, they produced...

Bronson “had to act as his mirror in order that he could look ‘normal,’” as Zontal’s blindness in the later stages of disease prohibited his artistic input...
