Abstract
We analyzed response, side effects, and local control rates of a multimodal treatment consisting of intraarterial infusion chemotherapy (IAIC) and radiotherapy with or without surgery for patients with locally advanced or recurred breast cancer. Thirty-three patients, clinically diagnosed as stage IIB in 1, IIIA in 2, IIIB in 12, IV in 18, were treated from 1991 to 1998. Twenty-five were primary and eight were recurrent cases after surgery. IAIC started as initial treatment up to three times maximum. In most cases, doxorubicin 50 mg, cisplatin 50 mg, and mitomycin 10 mg were infused in the subclavian and/or internal mammary artery. After IAIC, patients in primary cases underwent radical mastectomy or breast conservation surgery, after radiotherapy at a total dose of 50 Gy/25 fractions/5 weeks with a boost of 10 Gy. In recurrent cases, a full dose of radiotherapy was delivered. Clinical objective and complete response rates were 78% and 9% after IAIC. Despite a high rate of residual positive margin (67%) or clinically residual carcinoma, local recurrence developed only in 2 patients (6%) and local control rates at 5 years were calculated as 89%. Bone marrow suppression was frequent, and skin vesiculation (15%) and ulceration (9%...Continue Reading
