Apocrine carcinoma of the axillae. Case report.
A case of recurrent apocrine carcinoma of the axilla is presented. Following numerous excisions and exairesis of the regional glands, treatment with Tamoxifen was tried unsuccessfully. Local radiation therapy proved efficient. It is suggested that primary local radiation therapy be used as a supplement to aggressive surgery in the treatment of these tumors.
