Abstract

This is a retrospective study of 61 patients with clinically diagnosed breast cancer (IBC) treated with multimodality therapy between September 1977 and September 1985. All patients were scheduled to receive three courses of doxorubicin-based chemotherapy followed by mastectomy, further chemotherapy, and postoperative irradiation. Ten patients (16%) obtained a complete response, defined as either resolution of the clinical signs of inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) (4 patients) or no evidence of tumor in the mastectomy specimen (6 patients). Twenty-seven patients (45%) obtained a partial response, defined as a greater than 50% reduction in the clinical signs of inflammatory breast cancer. No response occurred in 24 patients (39%). Immediate mastectomy was done in 56 patients. Five patients whose disease was not resectable received preoperative irradiation. Nine patients at high risk for locoregional failure received postoperative irradiation immediately after mastectomy and before additional chemotherapy. Postoperative irradiation was given to the chest wall and peripheral lymphatics using standard or accelerated fractionation to a maximum dose of 60 Gy. Forty-six patients completed planned treatment including chemotherapy, surg...Continue Reading
