Abstract:
The management of recurrence in irradiated field of carcinoma of the breast after mastectomy remains a difficult and a challenging problem for the radiation oncologists. Locol regional control may lead to an improvement in survival quality. We analyzed retrospectively the response rate of combined treatment during radiation therapy with hyperthermia in 15 patients with chest wall or regional recurrence in irradiated fields. The complete regression rate for all 15 fields as 73% (11/15) and partial regression rate, 27% (4/15).Our clinical information indicated that radiation plus hyperthermia for recurrence in previously irradiated fields is safe and valuable. The ideal clinical schedule should be determined by randomized clinical trials.
