[Simultaneous radiochemotherapy of locally advanced stage T4 breast cancer].
The local efficacy of simultaneous radiochemotherapy was tested in 17 women with 18 carcinomas of the breast in stage T4 only. Treatment was conducted for a period of 6 months with 6 courses of drug therapy (A + E) coordinated simultaneously with 6 courses of radiotherapy. In 72% of the cases we found considerable (greater than 80%) or complete (100%) regression of the tumour as a result of this combined treatment. The median survival time is 35 months.
