Local recurrence posterior to radical treatment: evaluation of the complex areola nipple infiltration

The experience in our institution during the period 2004-2005 in local recurrence of breast cancer. Realized study clinical, retrospective, descriptive during 2004-2005, in patients with radical treatment, adjuvant radiation therapy and chemotherapy if exist indication. Some received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. 167 patients underwent radical mastectomy. Histological diagnostic was 80 percent (128) ductal infiltrante carcinoma, 4.19 percent in situ carcinoma. The more frequent localization was mammalian center 35.48 percent. 3.65 percent was stage I, 35.58 percent stage II 53.65 percent, stage III 6.09 percent stage IV. 57 patients (34 percent) with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. We realized 161 radical mastectomy Madden type (94.7 percent), 2 radical mastectomy Patey type and 4 mastectomy total simple 2 with node sentinel. 29 (17.36 percent) had infiltration to the areola nipple zone. 20 (68.96 percent) were localized in center mammalian region. The average age was 53.6 years, 18 patients (62.07 percent) were ubicated in stage III (37.93 percent), 72.94 percent received adjuvant chemotherapy. 61.76 percent received radiation therapy, 15 (51.72 percent) patients were alive without disease, 1 live with local recurrence, 5 staying alive with systemic disease and 6 (20.67 percent) dead by the disease. The control average was 36.14 month. 5 patients of the total (2.9 percent) presented local recurrence. The radical mastectomy is a therapeutically first arm, the local recurrence index are minor in the special centers. The infiltration of the areola-nipple complex is more frequent in the center mammalian region.
