Research has shown that 60 percent of those with the disease respond to hormonal therapy. The problem for doctors is determining which patients will respond and which ones need more aggressive treatment, such as chemotherapy. Discerning between the two groups and prescribing the right care can have a profound impact on the quality of a patient's life. But how should doctors make these decisions? Researchers at the School of Medi- cine, in collaboration with researchers at the University of Illinois, used imaging technology called positron emission tomography (PET) to help diagnose breast tumors that are likely to respond to hormone therapy in women with spreading, or metastatic, disease. The study was supported by the National Institutes of Health. In a recent issue of Clinical Cancer Research, the investigators reported that their method called FES-PET (fluoro- estradiol-PET), predicted tumor response to hormone therapy in patients with advanced breast cancer.

But only 29 percent mentioned prevention of cardiovascular disease. And though women with family histories of heart disease mentioned this reason more often than women without this risk factor, only 22 of the 71 women with other risk factors for heart disease — high blood pressure, high cholesterol level, diabetes, current smoker, previous heart attack — mentioned cardio-protection as a reason for using HRT. Surprisingly, 20 percent of the HRT users listed no therapeutic or preventive reasons. Eighty-one percent of this sub- group reported a surgical menopause, and they were taking the hormones solely on their doctors' advice. Only nine women among the 91 surveyed had never used HRT. Seven listed fear of cancer or having breast cancer as the reason, and the other two were un- clear about the appropriateness for them of HRT. Overall, Jeffe was surprised that most of the 91 participants failed to mention the heart-protecting effects of hormone therapy. "If women are not made aware of important issues," she said, "they can't be expected to take that information into consideration when they decide whether or not to use HRT." — Linda Sage

A three-time winner of Italy's Associa- tion for Industrial Design's Golden Com- pass award, Rizzatto will discuss the recent work of his company, Luceplan, at 8 p.m. Monday, Nov. 18, in Steinberg Hall Auditorium. The American Institute of Architects- sponsored lecture is part of the School of Architecture's Monday Night Lecture Series. A recipient of the European Com- munity Design Prize, Rizzatto taught a studio in the architecture school in 1992. "His lamps are rigorous, extremely well-detailed, crafted and thoughtful," said Stephen Leet, an associate professor of architecture who met Rizzatto in Milan, Italy, in the mid-1980s. "Rizzatto and his associates spend two to four years developing a lamp design — from the plans to the prototype to selecting the material. They are very quality-con- scious." The architecture school's Ruth and Norman Moore Visiting Chair, Rizzatto will display three of his designs in the Gallery of Art's joint exhibition featuring Learning more about WU the works of 49 faculty members from the schools of Art and Architecture.
