- Abstract:
- In March 1999 a 35 yr. old female patient presented with a palpable mass in the left breast and positive axillary lymph nodes. Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) was diagnosed after core cut biopsy. Receptors were negative and skin probe was free of malignant infiltration. Preoperative chemotherapy (PCT) was given and because of complete remission breast conserving therapy performed in May. The specimen showed a small residual tumor of IDC only. Under continued PCT a local relapse appeared on the same side within one month postoperatively. A triple therapy consisting of PCT, Radiofrequency-Hyperthermia (RF-HT) and Radiotherapy (RTX) was given when by end of August 1999 the area of the local malignant inflammation has exceeded 100 cm(2). The recurrent disease completely disappeared. RF-HT in combination with PCT and RTX seems to be an excellent tool in patients with recurrent breast cancer.
