Abstract:
Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) has been shown to be as effective as traditional radiotherapy in the management of early stage breast cancer. IORT is performed in a single session and consists in a single irradiation in the tumorectomy cavity. Medically assisted procreation does not seem to favor neither gynecological nor non-gynecological cancers. Nevertheless medically assisted procreation technique ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) is associated with an increased risk of birth defect. This is not the case of IVF (in vitro fertilization). The causality of the treatment or of the infertility itself is unclear. During pregnancy, nicotine-replacement patches at usual dosage do not seem to increase abstinence smoking rates. A selective, and not a systematic thyroid screening strategy, is now recommended during first trimester of pregnancy.
