Traditional treatments have proved to be of little effect on inflammatory carcinomas of the breast. The later show a tendency to early metastases and the mean survival is less than 19 months. The ...preliminary results of the therapeutic protocol reported here and whose originality lies in the primary use of non-specific immunotherapy and of high-dosage chemotherapy appear to be very favourable. The protocol was used in 9 patients. "Thermographic cooling" was taken as the criterion of operability. Initial chemotherapy was restarted after surgery up to a total of 10 courses, and followed by maintenance chemotherapy for one year. Immunotherapy using BCG was routinely associated with the antimitotic agents. After 41 months, the results were as follows: -- local recurrence after tumorectomy in 2 patients (18th and 31st months); these recurrences were controlled by cobalt. -- the other 7 patients show no sign of recurrence. These 9 patients are presently in complete remission.

The preliminary study is concerned with 25 cases that have been examined using thermography in planes to check the conditions of temperature of the testes in normal and pathological states. Normal ...testicular thermography is characterised by a symmetrical and constant thermographic picture, the temperature staying between 32.5 and 34.5 degrees. In the pathological states of oligoasthenospermia plate thermography shows up a particular thermic picture associated with a varicocoele whether this is clinical or subclinical. The picture is one of hyperthermia and lack of symmetry in the case of a unilateral lesion. In these cases tyeing off the spermatic vein shows a rapid return to a normal thermographic picture. These positive results have led to a more extensive and deep study which is at present in progress.
