Resumen: Poster Session [EP-1661]
Purpose or Objective Breast cancer is a common pathology in which <10% of cases at the moment of diagnosis are considered to be locally advanced. In patients with locally advanced breast cancer who have deterioration in overall condition, with local growth and secondary bl eeding that are not subsidiary to surgery or other systemic therapies, superficial radiotherapy may be considered as an option in the treatment of these patients Objectives: It is described a number of cases with patients with locally advanced breast cance r with secondary bleeding who were treated with superficial radiotherapy for haemostatic purposes Material and Methods For a period from May 2016 to August 2017, 6 patients with locally advanced breast cancer who did not respond to systemic treatment or d ue to the disease or comorbidities associated were not candidates for that, who presented tumour growth with secondary bleeding and they were not subsidiaries of surgery. Superficial radiotherapy were administrated by a low energy X -Ray machine, with a tot al dose of 50 - 60Gy, divided in 1 -2 fractions per week. The haemostatic effect was value at the end of treatment. Results The average age was 73 years, most patients presented a grade 2 functional status (ECOG2). At the end of treatment, was objected a decrease of > o = 25% in tumor size and absence of bleeding was observed. Conclusion Surface radiotherapy is a treatment modality that should be taken into account in patients with breast cancer who present bleeding as a consequence of local tumor growth, given that this is a treatment comfortable for the patient, non invasive and increases the quality of patient’s life.
