Tagging 10 dead links using Checklinks
, Tagging 10 dead links using Checklinks. Left them unfixed. Cheers! 04:05, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure. The previous tool you were using however was not fixing them either. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 13:47, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * , Checklinks does not fix them, it just finds them. The fixes are done manually then Checklinks inserts the fixes. I do not know of an automated tool for fixing dead refs. Cheers!  01:57, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * User:Cyberpower678 has built one. It is going to be using Internet Archive. Not sure when a big run is going to begin. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 02:10, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Hopefully soon. There's a major flaw that needs to be fixed.  It has fixed several thousand links on several thousand pages.—cyberpower Chat:Limited Access 02:16, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * On the bright side, the engine has practically a 0% chance of fetching a bad archive at this point.
 * Then there's the task of installing a heuristic to detect untagged dead links.—cyberpower Chat:Limited Access 02:18, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Well thank you for tackling this :-) Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 02:27, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * , one problem with Checklinks is it does not find dead subscription links; another problem is that it takes up to 18-months for links to have archived versions. Cheers!  04:28, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Lapatinib

 * Lapatinib has been used for breast cancer treatment (in combination with other substances), see for example a PubMed review article by Fleeman et al . There is also one study on using a combination of lapatinib and trastuzumab for treating HER2 positive breast cancer by Bundred et al and a PubMed article (not a review) by Blackwell et al on the combination of lapatinib and trastuzumab . Could it be worth mentioning lapatinib in this article, or would it be necessary to wait for (further) review articles?

Not about fondling.

Text
"The first kind of cancer cells are luminal A breast cancer cells. These cancer cells are estrogen receptor positive, progesterone receptor positive and HER2 receptor negative. This allows these cells to grow in conditions with high hormone levels such as estrogen . These cells grow slowly therefore tend to have the best prognosis. Luminal A breast cancer can be treated with drugs that block or reduce levels of hormones . Luminal B breast cancer cells are very similar but are HER2 positive. The difference is that these cells tend to grow slightly faster making them harder for prognosis . Similar treatments can be applied as luminal A but these cancerous cells are just more aggressive due to being HER2 positive, which is a direct proto-oncogene ."

This sentence does not make sense "The first kind of cancer cells are luminal A breast cancer cells." How are this the first kind of cancer cell? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:37, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

EBV
There appears to be a link with EBV: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/312056.php I have not added it as I think it needs someone that understands the science to do this, is seems similar to cervical cancer which for decades was attributed to lifestyle and yet now is almost universally acknowledged to be due to viral effects. I think the same kind of rot is in this article when reading it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.249.23.158 (talk) 17:52, 11 September 2018 (UTC)


 * That report is more than two years old, and very tentative. If nobody has been able to firm-up those conclusions yet, then "someone that understands the science" would be in grave danger of tripping over WP:OR. MrDemeanour (talk) 16:23, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Breast cancer in men
According to the article's lede, breast cancer is more than 100 times more common in women than in men. It's not surprising, therefore, that the article focuses on breast cancer in women, but why is there no other mention of men? Men can get breast cancer – and some have mastectomies – too. Headhitter (talk) 16:18, 9 December 2021 (UTC)


 * My cancer surgeon said it was 50 times more common in women. I can't load the PDFs that are cited to support that claim from archive.org, and I doubt my surgeon is citable. FWIW I'm a man who had breast cancer followed by a mastectomy; I found it quite funny, the number of rooms I've been through that were lined with boxes of brasierres and prostheses. None of the informational pamphlets I was given mentioned men at all. FTR, in this country (UK) men are not offered either prostheses or reconstructive surgery – not that I would have wanted either anyway.

Merger proposal
I propose merging Multi-centric breast cancer into Breast cancer.

Multi-centric (and multifocal) breast cancers are interesting and important topics. They should be referenced in the main Breast Cancer article.

However, much of the material in the Multi-centric breast cancer article does not appear to be specific to multi-centric cancers, and is already covered in greater detail in the Breast cancer article. I think that a single paragraph in the Breast Cancer article would be appropriate to explain what multi-centric and multifocal breast cancers are, how common they are, and specific differences with regard to diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. More generic information about breast cancer is already covered in more detail there. Mgp28 (talk) 08:39, 7 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Merge makes no sense to have two breast cancer articles. Catfurball (talk) 21:03, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
