Electrochemotherapy to Treat a Single Thoracic Metastasis in Patient with Breast Cancer
Electrochemotherapy represents one of the therapeutic breakthroughs in the oncology field. In this case report, we describe a woman diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005. The case was treated surgically with right breast mastectomy, with axillary dissection for estrogen receptor positive ductal carcinoma, followed by a course of chemotherapy. Radiotherapy and hormonal adjuvant therapy with aromatase inhibitor were used for 8 years and the treatment plan was completed in 2014. After 17 years from the surgery, a thoracic Hight Resolution Computed Tomography scan showed a single node localized in right intercostal space, treated with a loco-regional treatment without complications. This allowed us to make the patient disease-free again. This case opens a choice in a loco-regional treatment to offer at a patient a new chance.
