Rejecting the devil’s advocate view
By Peter H. Gott, M.H.
I urge my female patients over the
age of 45 to have periodic breast X-
ray examinations (mammograms) be-
cause I believe this test, in conjunc-
tion with a physical exam, is valuable
in detecting early breast cancer I've
been taught that early detection leads
to higher cure-rates and less need for
expensive, unpleasant therapy I sus-
pect that most practicing physicians
share this view
We may be enfc ging in wishful
thinking
According to Petr Skrabanek.
Ph D., a lecturer in community health
at Ireland's University of Dublin,
screening mammography may be
merely a fantasy of “anti-cancer pro-
pagandists “ Writing in the June 1988
issue of Diagnostic Imaging. Skra-
banek argued that mammography
has not influenced patients' survival
rates, nor has it led to more success-
ful treatment of breast cancer He
pointed out that mammography
screening “is recommended by the
majority of doctors despite the ab-
sence of evidence for its value While
mammography is an extremely good
diagnostic tool (in certain circum-
stances). its positive predictive value
in mass screening programs is about
5 percent "
What is the reason for this astound-
ingly unconventional opinion ■*
Skrabanek asserted that the prog-
Uncompleted mansion set for demolition
By JOHN A. BOLT
AP Business Writer
DALLAS (AP) — A planned $6
million mansion exulting the ex-
quisite lifestyle with 10 bedcham-
bers and 15 bathrooms, decayed in-
stead into an eyesore which sig-
nified the boom and bust of Dallas.
Construction halted, weeds grew
and gawkers gawked. The New
York Times used a picture of it to
illustrate the state’s thrift crisis.
And now the city is wrecking the
five-story structure in the elegenl
neighborhood a few miles north of
downtown Dallas.
“I inherited that monstrosity,”
assistant city manager Harry Jones
said Tuesday. “My job was to get it
down.”
A wrecking company is tearing
apart the timbers that had sat un-
tended since the builder walked
away after a dispute with the city.
It is now a giant nibble pile sur-
rounded by unkempt grass and
puddles left by the recent heavy
rainstorms. Disappearing are the
two-story library, a great hall, an
8,000-square-foot ballroom, 10
bedrooms including a two-story
master suite and 15 bathrooms.
“The property was built on city
right-of-way and a portion of a city
street,” Jones said. “When the
property owner was told that he
would have to petition for aban-
donment of the street, the costs
were prohibitive for him to do that
and as a result he just stopped the
construction."
According to The Dallas Morn-
ing News, the house was built by
Robert Revicl in 1985. Reviel had
been building increasingly expen-
sive homes on speculation, and had
always managed to find buyers.
By mid-1986, construction had
ceased on the house, located at a
high profile north Dallas intersec-
tion near other mansions.
Just why construction stopped is
open to question, but Reviel said in
a 1987 interview, “I was unaware
that there was a street under there. I
didn’t know the street existed, and
don’t know if it exists today.” .
After negotiations with the city
fell through, principally because
the city said it would cost more
than $100,000 to have the street
abandoned, “the city and I became
enemies,” Reviel told The Ad-
dison-North Dallas Register, a
weekly newspaper.
Construction eventually was hal-
ted by police, who ticketed the
building crew and patrolled the
four-acre lot to make sure no more
work was done.
Reviel has since left Dallas and
his whereabouts could not be
determined immediately.

nosis of breast cancer does not depend
on delayed discovery or the method of
treatment. The decisive factor is the
type of breast malignancy Some can-
cers are simply more vicious than
others and will lead to serious conse-
quences. even if discovered early
In addition, the survival rate of a
woman with a breast tumor• discov-
ered by routine screening is no differ-
ent from that of a patient who discov-
ers the cancer by herself. By the time
the tumor is identified, it has usually
been growing for eight to 12 years and
has had ample opportunity to spread
(metastasize) if it is going to do so
Results of two large studies (the
New York Health Insurance Plan and
the Swedish Two-Counties Trial)
seemed to indicate a 30 percent re-
duction in breast-cancer mortality in
women who had screening mammog-
raphy However, meticulous statisti-
cal analyses revealed that mammog-
raphy saved only one or two deaths
per 10.000 women per year, a “minus-
cule benefit" in view of the overall
mortality rate of about 75 pef 10.000
women per year
Furthermore, aggressive therapy
of small, randomly discovered tu-
mors may lead to too nri&ny unneces-
sary diagnostic procedures, biopsies
and mastectomies. For example,
since the introduction of widespread
breast-screening in the United States,
the rates for partial and total mastec-
tomies in women 45 years and older
have been twice as high as the rates in
England, despite the fact that the inci-
dence of breast cancer in the United
States is significantly lower than the
incidence in the England
Given this information, what is one
to do’ Here is a seemingly uncompli-
cated issue, which the experts appear
eager to complicate On the one hand,
doctors customarily order screening
mammograms because it makes
sense to find small, early cancers,
treat them and expect a good result.
On the other hand, the data show that
screening mammography may. at
best, be a fruitless expenditure of pre-
cious health-care dollars: at worst, it
may cause unnecessary anxiety, dis-
comfort and disfigurement
I address this problem because it is
typical of the uncertainty of modern
medical practice We doctors make
judgments and decisions based on in-
formation we believe to be valid and
sensible But there are two sides to
every issue Diagnosis and treatment
are far from being as cut-and-dried as
the public thinks they are Guidelines
and techniques are constantly chang-
ing. the dogma of today often be-
comes the antiquated folklore of to-
morrow As yet. the definitive word
on mammography screening is not in.
However, current un re ported investi-
gations in Sweden. Scotland and Cana-
da may soon give us the answers we
so desperately need to resolve the
mammography controversy
Until the disagreement is unequivo-
cally resolved. I will maintain a con-
servative position: recommending
routine mammography because I be-
lieve it is appropriate While I wel-
come professional, devil's-advocate
opinions. I'll continue to reject them
when the health of my patients is at
stake and my own experiences tell me
that routine mammography is
advisable
