To report the treatment effect of interstitial brachytherapy for chest wall locoregional recurrence of breast cancer.
This 44-year-old female presented with chest wall recurrence seven years after modified radical mastectomy for stage II breast cancer. Despite external beam radiation and chemotherapy, the lesion expanded as 5.3 × 5.1 × 3.0 cm(3), and 8.0 × 5.1 × 4.0 cm(3). The locoregional recurrent tumor was treated with interstitial brachytherapy under ultrasound guidance. The brachytherapy dose was 30 Gy in 6 fractions of 5 Gy each.
Removal of the recurrent tumor was securely achieved by interstitial brachytherapy guided with ultrasound scanning. The refractory tumor in patient healed uneventfully after interstitial brachytherapy without recurrence during the 7 months of follow-up.
The ultrasound-guided interstitial brachytherapy may be effective for refractory recurrence of breast cancer.
报告间质近距离放射治疗乳腺癌胸壁局部区域复发的治疗效果。
该44岁女性在II期乳腺癌改良根治术后7年出现胸壁复发。尽管接受了外照射放疗和化疗,但病灶仍扩大至5.3×5.1×3.0 cm³和8.0×5.1×4.0 cm³。在超声引导下对局部区域复发性肿瘤进行间质近距离放射治疗。近距离放射治疗剂量为30 Gy,分6次,每次5 Gy。
通过超声扫描引导的间质近距离放射治疗成功切除复发性肿瘤。患者的难治性肿瘤在间质近距离放射治疗后顺利愈合,在7个月的随访期间无复发。
超声引导下的间质近距离放射治疗可能对难治性乳腺癌复发有效。
