[Loco-regional recurrence of breast cancer].
The treatment of loco-regional recurrence (LRR) after breast cancer is based on the achievement of loco-regional control by radical surgery and adjuvant postoperative radiotherapy. Antiestrogens used as treatment in patients with steroid receptor positive LRR can increase disease free survival. Adjuvant chemotherapy is not applied to patients with LRR who have had radical loco-regional salvage treatment. Further studies are needed to elucidate this issue.
