Partial Mastectomy and M. Latissimus Dorsi Reconstruction for Radiation-induced Fibrosis After Breast-conserving Cancer Therapy

BACKGROUND: Patients with severe complaints of radiation-induced fibrosis after breast-conserving therapy and not responding to conservative therapy, were treated by partial mastectomy and m. latissimus dorsi reconstruction. METHOD: To determine the feasibility and outcome of this approach, a retros...

description BACKGROUND: Patients with severe complaints of radiation-induced fibrosis after breast-conserving therapy and not responding to conservative therapy, were treated by partial mastectomy and m. latissimus dorsi reconstruction. METHOD: To determine the feasibility and outcome of this approach, a retrospective study of nine patients was carried out. RESULTS: After a mean follow-up of 46 months, eight of the nine patients experienced improvement of their complaints and shape of the breast. In only one case did the procedure fail, as evidenced by continuation of all complaints. CONCLUSIONS: Partial mastectomy and m. latissimus dorsi reconstruction is the ultimate option in the treatment of radiation fibrosis. The procedure is safe with satisfying results.
