Therapy of isolated locoregional recurrent carcinoma of the breast
2019
Purpose
There is widespread consent that isolated locoregional recurrence (ILRR) in breast cancer should be treated surgically. On searching literature and guidelines most studies include ipsilateral recurrence in breast tissue or on thoracic wall post-mastectomy, recurrence in scar tissue as well as in ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes. Some studies discuss metachronous contralateral breast cancer as ILRR. About 10–35% of women with primary breast cancer suffer from ILRR. The existing data concerning the role of systemic therapy in the treatment of ILRR are insufficient. We investigated the influence of chemotherapy on disease-free- (DFS) and overall-survival (OS).
