Mind the Gap: Recurrence of Oligometastatic Breast Invasive Ductal Carcinoma in the Sternal Gap of Two Tangential Photon Fields of Bilateral Whole Breast Irradiation a Decade Later

Despite bilateral breast cancer being a rare clinical entity compared to unilateral breast cancer, both share a treatment paradigm of breast-conserving therapy for limited disease and metastasis direct therapy for oligometastatic disease. We present a case of left breast invasive ductal carcinoma in...

description Despite bilateral breast cancer being a rare clinical entity compared to unilateral breast cancer, both share a treatment paradigm of breast-conserving therapy for limited disease and metastasis direct therapy for oligometastatic disease. We present a case of left breast invasive ductal carcinoma in the setting of original bilateral breast cancer, now with oligometastatic recurrence to the soft tissue of the sternum, notably in an area not previously irradiated, over a decade later.
