Some breast cancer patients
can skip node surgery
LINDSEY TANNER
AP Medical Writer
CHICAGO (AP) — Many breast cancer
patients can skip aggressive lymph node
surgery without increasing their chances
of a recurrence or death if their disease
shows limited spread, according to a
study that has prompted changes in prac-
tice.
Under current guidelines, the often-
debilitating surgery is done if the cancer
has spre; oulsii ? the breast to any
lymph nodes.
In the study, rates of survival and of
patients' remaining cancer-free were just
as good whether the women with limited
spread — in one or two nearby nodes —
had lots more underarm nodes removed
or skipped that major surgery.
At least 24,000 of the 180,000 U.S.
women diagnosed every year with breast
cancer have limited spread to lymph
nodes. Under the standard approach,
they would have a chunk of underarm tis-
sue removed to check for further cancer
spread, said Dr. Thomas Julian, a breast
cancer specialist with West Penn
Allegheny Healthcare System in
Pittsburgh. He was not involved in the
study.
That operation often leaves women with
lasting arm swelling, stiffness and pain.
The results sugges that tens of thou-
sands of women could be spared aggres-
sive node surgery and those troubling
side effects, said study author Dr.
Armando Giuliano, cancer surgery chief
at the John Wayne Cancer Institute in
Santa Monica, Calif.
"This is really a move toward less radical
surgery" for breast cancer patients, he
said.
That move began several years ago when
doctors stopped routinely removing
entire breasts and surrounding tissue,
except for women with more advanced
disease.
The study refutes previous research sug-
gesting a greater chance for recurrence
when cancer is found in one or two nodes.
The difference may be the overall treat-
ment given to the women in the study.
All had relatively early disease, with
spread to no more than two nodes. They
were treated with lumpectomies to
remove their tumors and a common type
of radiation that covers the breast and
underarm area. Most also had
chemotherapy, hormone treatment, or
both.
American Society of Surgical Oncology
guidelines recommend aggressive node
surgery for such women. The group is
doing a periodic guideline review, an the
study results likely will lead to some
changes, said Dr. Gary Lyman o Duke
University, co-chair of a panel involved in
those guidelines.
"This certainly is a pivotal study and an
important additional piece of informa-
lion in an area that we've been waiting
for," Lyman said.
The study appears in Wednesday's
Journal of the American Medical
Association. Some details were presented
at a medical meeting last year and led
many doctors to adopt the new approach.
That includes breast surgeons at New
York's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer
Center and the M.D. Anderson Cancer
Center in Houston, according to study co-
authors from those institutions.
The results confirm the approach is safe,
and doctors can feel confident recom-
mending it, said Dr. Nora Jaskowiak, sur-
gical director of the breast center at
University of Chicago Medical Center.
The study involved about 850 women
who had initial biopsies showing cancer
had spread to one or two nearby lymph
nodes.
Lymph nodes are tiny structures linked
by a network of vessels throughout the
body that are part of the disease-fighting
immune system. When cancer spreads, it
typically travels first to nearby nodes.
About half of the women were randomly
assigned to receive the nore invasive
node surgery; the remainder skipped that
surgery.
Roughly 92 percent in both groups were
still alive five years later, anc B3 percent
in both groups had no cancer recurrence.
Seventy percent of women in the surgery
group ad complications, inch ing
underarm swelling and wound infection,
versus 25 percent in group that skipped
it.
Julian, the Pittsburgh breast surgeon,
said there were limitations to the
research, including how women were
recruited.
The researchers approached women who
already knew their initial lymph node
biopsy results, and only about half as
many women as anticipated agreed to be
in the study, Higher-risk women who
wanted conventional node surgery may
have chosen not to participate, which
could have skewed the results.
The study authors acknowledge that lim-
itation but said even high-risk study par-
ticipants, those with breast cancer that
doesn't respond to hormone treatment,
had good long-term survival rates even
without the node surgery.
Julian said lack of extended follow-up is
also a concern.
"You need to have 10 years to really know
that it's going to hold water," he said.
H( sail he has cautiously adopted the
study approach with older patients, but
only on a case-by-case basis with women
50 or younger, who have longer to live
and more time for cancer to recur.

LONDON (AP) — Great wealth became J.
Paul Getty Ill's great curse.
At age 16, he was held for /ansoni for five
months by captors who cut off his ear when his
oil-rich grandfather balked at paying
After his 1973 release, he became addicted to
drugs and alcohol, diving deeper into a hippie
counterculture that seemed the opposite of his
family's capitalistic roots. He was only in his
20s when he suffered a devastating stroke that
left him severely impaired and in a wheelchair
for the rest of his life. He died Saturday at age
54-
Getty "never let his handicap keep him from
living life to the fullest and he was an inspira-
tion to all of us, showing us how to stand up to
all adversity," his son, the actor Balthazar
Getty, said in a statement.
The elder Getty died surrounded by his family
at his country estate in Buckinghamshire
northwest of London. The cause leath was
not disclosed, but Getty had been gravely ill for
some time.
Bom in 1956 to oil wealth counted in the bil-
lions of dollars, Getty's life was upended when
he was kidnapped in Rome in 1973. He was a
tempting target — his grandfather was often
said to be one of the world's first billionaires.
He cut a dashing figure, with tight jeans, open
shirts and long, flowing hair — resembling, at
times, a young Mick Jagger.
At the time of his abduction, Getty was known
as the "golden hippie." He hung out with
young leftists and counterculture types in
Piazza Navona, Campo dei Fiori and Piazza
Farnese in Rome.
At first, some thought the kidnapping was
staged to extract money from the grandfather.
Friends at that time said the youngster had
actually joked about such a tactic.
His mother, American actress Gail Harris,
called journalists to her home one evening in
the upscale Parioli section of Rome to
announce the family had received a ransom
demand of $17 million
Getty's grandfather refused to pay. He was
quoted as saying that he had 14 grandchildren
and if I pay for one, then I'll have 14 kid-
napped grandchildren."
But his will was broken when a Rome news-
paper received a plastic envelope with a sev-
ered ear inside and a warning that another
would follow if the family didn't pay.
The teenager, missing an ear, was released
after five months and was found wandering on
a country road in southern Calabria. He was
freed for a reported ransom of $2.7 million —
far less than the kidnappers' original demands.
Several people were eventually convicted and
sentenced to prison. Prosecutors blamed the
Calabrian mob
Most of the ransom money was never recov-
ered.
Once freed from his ordeal, Getty enthusiasti-
cally embraced a life of drugs and parties,
becoming a well-known member of the hippie
subculture. He soon developed habits for
drugs and alcohol.
He did not speak out in public and was not
really a celebrity, but the fact that a grandson
of an oil tycoon had embraced the flower
power ethos did not go unnoticed.
Photographs told his story well and soon
enough he was pictured with a striking young
brunette — her hair was shorter than his —
who would in 1974 become his wife. She was
known as Martine Zacher or Gisela Zacher
before their union, which produced their son,
Balthazar.
While undergoing treatment for alcohol abuse
in 1981, Getty suffered a stroke that left him
paralyzed, unable to speak and in need of
around-the-clock care. Newspaper reports
indicated the stroke was drug-related, but
details were not released
Getty's father had struggled with his own well-
publicized drug addict on and his stepmother
died from a drug overdose.
Getty's wife sued two drug companies, claim-
ing that sedatives prescribed to treat a severe
and debilitating medical condition caused per-
manent brain damage. The couple later
divorced.
Getty was rarely seen in public after the stroke,
and soon drifted from the public conscious-
ness, too, sometimes remembered as one
more hippie drug casualty even as his family
name became associated with global philan-
thropy and the arts.
The - rose to global prominence with the
success of his grandfather, J. Paul Getty, who
built Getty Oil into a $6 billion fortune — mak-
ing him one of the world's richest men in his
day.
J. Paul Getty was known for his tightfisted
approach, reportedly installing a pay tele-
phone in one of his homes so that family and
friends would not be able to place long dis-
tance calls at his expense.
He also built one of the world's great art col-
lections, which fonned the basis of the J. Paul
Getty Museum — a cultural centerpiece in Los
Angeles.
His son, the late John Paul Getty Jr., made
charitable donations that totaled more than
$200 million in Britain alone, to causes relat-
ed to everything from cricket to needy chil-
dren.
But this charitable generosity did not extend
to his own family — the reclusive multimillion-
aire initially refused to pay for his son's steep
monthly medical bills, agreeing to do so only in
the face of a lawsuit from his first wife, Harris,
with whom he had three other children.
Getty is survived by his two children,
Balthazar and stepdaughter Anna, and six
grandchildren. He is also survived by his
mother and four siblings: Getty Images co-
founder Mark Getty, prominent AIDS activist
Aileen Getty, Ariadne Getty and his half-broth-
er Tara Getty.
Balthazar Getty has starred in film and TV
productions and is currently appearing on the
ABC network drama "Brothers & Sisters."
