Ehrlich Jr. last December convened an emergency special legislative session to look at the problem. Doctors said an announced 33 percent increase in their malpractice premiums threatened their livelihoods, before emergency legislation softened the blow.

After an average of six years of followup since their diagnoses, 121 breast cancer deaths and 428 non-breast cancer deaths had occurred.
