EDEMATOUS-INFILTRATIVE FORM OF BREAST CANCER

Abstract

The inclusion of the edematous-infiltrative form of breast cancer into the concept “locally advanced breast cancer” that
embraces heterogeneous groups of patients hinders the analysis of statistical data, the efficiency of treatment, and survival
of this category of patients. Predictors, including immunological ones, for the edemators-infiltrative form of breast cancer,
knowledge of which is required to work out treatment policy for primary and secondary edematous-infiltrative breast cancer, have not been fully defined. All the above suggests that the edematous- infiltrative form of breast cancer should be
further explored in detail in order to improve the results of treatment of this category of patients.
