[Mohs paste for unresectable local lesion of breast cancer].
A 45-year-old woman with a local recurrence on her left chest wall discharged massive exudates. At every gauze exchange, blood was still oozing out. After using Mohs paste twice, the surface had been fixed chemically and dried up, so she did not have to exchange gauze, and there was no more bleeding. A 55-year-old woman was suffering massive exudates and offensive smell from her right primary breast cancer that formed a massive bulge with a deep ulcer in the center. Because her serum hemoglobin declined to 4.4 g/mL due to continuous bleeding, she needed to undergo blood transfusion. After using Mohs paste twice, the bleeding stopped almost completely. Now she uses Mohs paste by herself at home at her convenience. A 69 year-old woman suffered from an offensive odor and continuous bleeding from a local recurrence in the skin of her abdomen. A single use of Mohs paste relieved her from bleeding and the smell. Three patients had experienced no adverse events except mild pain and their QOL improved considerably. Mohs paste is in the hope of improving the QOL for the breast cancer patients with local advanced, unresectable skin lesions.
