Information on metastases from carcinoma of the mammary gland in an autopsy study of 707 cases occurring in white women over a 15-year period are presented and tabulated. Multiple primary cancers occurred in 19% of the cases. Of the 137 cases that exhibit more than one neoplastic malignancy, 31 (23%) were present in the contralateral mammary gland. Seventy patients had no metastasis from the mammary cancer at the time of death, and 55 of these patients had another cancer. Additional information has been added concerning the frequency of metastasis in parathyroid and thymus. When a parathyroid contains a metastasis, extensive metastases were noted in many organs and thus represents a late stage of the cancer.
本文呈现并列表说明了在一项针对707例白人女性乳腺癌患者进行的为期15年的尸检研究中有关转移情况的信息。19%的病例存在多发原发性癌症。在137例表现出一种以上肿瘤性恶性病变的病例中，31例（23%）出现在对侧乳腺。70例患者在死亡时乳腺癌无转移，其中55例患者患有其他癌症。已补充了关于甲状旁腺和胸腺转移频率的更多信息。当甲状旁腺出现转移时，在许多器官中都发现了广泛转移，因此代表癌症晚期。
