Abstract:
Compared with initial treatment of primary breast cancer, more uncertainties exist regarding to the prognosis and salvage therapy of local-regional recurrent breast cancer. This article summarized the pattern of recurrence after breast conservative therapy and mastectomy respectively. Comprehensive local treatment comprising re-excision and entire-ifeld radiotherapy are the mainstay of multi-disciplinary treatment. Optimized local treatment is efifcient not only in local disease control but also in preventing subsequent recurrence. Although past data did not fully justify the role of systemic treatment in local-regional recurrent patients, the result of CALOR trial, which was initiated by several international breast cancer co-operative groups has conifrmed that based on individualized endocrine and targeted therapy, salvage surgery plus radiotherapy followed by systemic chemotherapy improved the disease-free survival and overall survival compared to surgery+radiotherapy alone, especially in estrogen receptor negative patients.Thus, systemic treatment based on biomarkers from primary as well as recurrent disease will become an integrated part in the therapeutic strategy of local-regional recurrent breast cancer.
