Breast Cancer Treament
Two Options:
Local treatment - treatment of breast area and
lymph nodes near it
Systemic treatment - treatment of the whole
body, or system
© Ruthi Peleg, 2005
If cancer has spread to other places beyond the
breast local treatment to those spots, in
addition to systemic treatment
Type of treatment depends on:
© Ruthi Peleg, 2005
• the characteristics of the cancer( location, size,
multicentricity, microcalcifications…)
• stage of the cancer – how much has spread
• patient’s general health
• patient’s decision
Breast Cancer Treament
Local Treatment

Breast removing surgery
Modified radical mastectomy
Removal of:
• whole breast
• axillary lymph nodes
Adpted from “Dr. Susan Love’s Breast Book” , 1996
Breast removing surgery
Simple or total mastectomy
Removal of:
• all breast tissue, including its extensions to
armpit and sometimes to area of clavicula
• without axillary lymph nodes
Performed when, p.e.:
-prophylactic mastectomy is required
- as palliative procedure (bulky breast tumor,
distant metastasis
• The surgeon removes only the skin of the
nipple, areola, and the original biopsy scar.
• Then the surgeon removes the breast tissue
through the small opening that is created.
• The remaining pouch of skin provides the
best shape and form to accommodate an
implant or a reconstruction using your own
tissue.
• A skin-sparing mastectomy is not safe if
there is a possibility that tumor cells are
close to the skin. If there's any question that
the tumor may involve the skin, such as in
inflammatory breast cancer, then skin-
sparing mastectomy is not an option.
Breast removing surgery Skin-sparing mastectomy
Breast removing surgery
Subcutaneous mastectomy
Removal of:
• breast tissue but saves skin, nipple, areola
Was performed:
• As preventive mastectomy for women with
a cancer in the opposite breast
• Family history of disease
Local Treatment
• Radiation Therapy
Breast removing surgery
(mastectomy)
Breast saving surgery
(lumpectomy)
• Surgery:

Breast Cancer Treament
Breast saving surgery
Lumpectomy, partial mastectomy, wide excision,
segmental mastectomy, quadrectomy
Removal of:
• Lump and part of
surrounding tissue
This operation is combined
in general with postop.

Axillary Lymph Node Dissection
© Ruthi Peleg, 2005
Excision of level I, II lymph nodes embedded
in fat tissue ( at least 10 – 15 nodes).
Number of nodes
excised differs in
patients because
of anatomical
variety
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
© Ruthi Peleg, 2005
Based on theory that lymphatic metastases drain from
the primary tumor to a particular lymph node ( SN)
before spreading into other regional ( “non-sentinel”)
lymph nodes.
Injection of dye to tumor area
During operation, excision of
dyed node (SN), 1-4 nodes
If negative no further node
excision
If positive ALND

Radiation Therapy
© Ruthi Peleg, 2005
• Radiation often used in conjunction with surgery
(lumpectomy, or even mastectomy in patients most
as risk for local recurrence, such as those with more
than 4 positive nodes, large tumor, Dr. Susan Love’s
Breast Book, 1996)
• Radiation works best on few cells, not on large
chunks of cancer therefore after surgery
• In the early days of radiation, machine was aimed
straight-on at the breast radiation of lungs, heart
resulted in complications like heart, lung diseases
Radiation Therapy
© Ruthi Peleg, 2005
•Now much more precise
•Radiation is performed in tangents, as well as
straight on so that the radiation goes through a
particular breast area and out to the air, less into
lungs and heart
Adpted from “Dr. Susan Love’s Breast Book” , 1996
Radiation Therapy
© Ruthi Peleg, 2005
• Radiation is administered by a machine, called a
linear accelerator, which accelerates radioactive
particles and shoots them directly at a specific body
part
• Radiation treatment : 1x/ day, several weeks
Adpted from “Dr. Susan Love’s Breast Book” , 1996
Radiation Therapy
2. Boost – extra amount of radiation on spot
where the tumor was
Treatment is usually given in two parts:
1. The breast as a whole is radiated, including
lymph nodes if necessary.
This will last ca. 5 weeks, often using about
4700 rads ( chest X ray is a fraction of a rad)

Radiation Therapy

Skin care guide lines during treatment:
• Avoid all soaps that use fragrance, deodorants, or
any kind of metal can interact with radiation
• Don’t use deodorant on the treated side,
deodorants have lots of aluminium! Instead use
natural deodorants
• Use cornstarch on radiated area, not talcum
powder
Radiation Therapy
© Ruthi Peleg, 2005
Side effects of radiation depend on the treated
body part.
Tumor cells are particularly sensitive to
radiation as all cells that divide frequently
- cells of hair roots loss of hair
- Skin radiation dermatitis
- Mucus of bowl radiation colitis
- If radiation gets to the lungs cough

Fatigue
• Radiation in the body inself creates tiredness:
the body uses up all its resources to cope with
the radiation
• The fatigue usually gets worse toward end of
treatment
• The fatigue may last several months after
treatment has finished
© Ruthi Peleg, 2005
Radiation Therapy and side effects
Acute radiation erytema •Hyperemic erytema can develop as a result of
inflammatory process
Breast may swell and get more sensitive
•Tip: Hold a pillow between breasts and sleep on
the untreated side
•These early changes are reversible to a large extent
•Irradiated area has normal appearance LM: yes
•Irradiated area is reddened or irritated LM: no
Radiation Therapy and side effects
© Ruthi Peleg, 2005
Chronic effects are caused by pathological
changes to connective tissues, vessel system
(appear gradually or only after several years):
•Sclerosis of skin and subcutis: hardening of skin,
limited mobility
•Secondary atrophic changes to dermis: brown
hyperpigmentation, telangiectase, damaged
sebaceous glands ( still perspiring in irradiated
area?), radiogenic ulcerations
Radiation Therapy and side effects
© Ruthi Peleg, 2005
• Injury to Brachial Plexus, can lead to intense pain,
paresis/paralysis, impaired sensation (attention with
bandages!)
The injury can show up many years after radiation
therapy – important to rule out tumor recidivism.
• Costochondritis, kind of arthritis that causes
inflammation of sternocostal joints – can lead to
intense pain, can be treated with aspirin, anti-
arthritis medicine
• Very rarely, radiation can cause second cancers, p.e.
sarcoma
Treatment of radiation- induced fibrosis
© Ruthi Peleg, 2005
•Regular careful skin care with oil-based moisturizing
creams – keep skin smooth, elastic
•Pretreatment of central areas before treatment of
radiation- induced fibrosis
•Two different massage techniques for loosening the
tissue: small, stationary circles usind fingertips
moving towards pretreated healthy area
Stationary circles using both hands, one
hand takes over from the other hand
Breast Reconstruction
• The woman who has undergone a B.C.O., has to deal
not only with the threatening illness, but also with the
damage to her femininity and body image
• The physical defect is a permanent
reminder of the existence of the
illness
Breast reconstruction is not a
cosmetic surgery it intends to
restore the physical & mental
balanceenables improvement in
quality of life
