RESUMEN
From 1977 to 1989 6488 patients under fifty years with primary breast cancer were registered in the nationwide Danish Breast Cancer Cooperative Group (DBCG). Among these information on last menstrual period prior to surgery was available in 1635 cases which constitute the study group of the present analysis. The group was representative of the total group with regard to prognostic factors and survival. In the study group time of surgery in relation to last menstrual period was found to have no influence on five- and ten year survival.

From 1977 to 1989 6488 patients under 50 years with primary breast cancer were registered in the nationwide Danish Breast Cancer Cooperative Group (DBCG). Among these, information on last menstrual period prior to surgery was available in 1635 cases which constitute the study group of the present analysis. The group was representative of all women operated upon during the period with regard to prognostic factors and survival. In the study group time of surgery in relation to last menstrual period was found to have no influence on 5 and 10 years survival.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) on prevention of urethral stricture recurrence after internal urethrotomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Of 55 men who were randomly selected, 43 completed the investigation. Of these, 21 patients performed CIC weekly for 1 year following Sachse's operation for urethral stricture and 22 patients formed the control group after the same operation. All had an objective examination for urethral stricture every 2 months after surgery. RESULTS: Significantly fewer (P < 0.01) patients developed recurrence of urethral stricture within the first postoperative year in the CIC group (n = 4) compared with the control group (n = 15). No CIC complications were seen, and patients who completed the CIC programme considered the method fully acceptable. CONCLUSION: Weekly CIC is a simple method of reducing the frequency of urethral stricture recurrence after internal urethrotomy.
