A DRAMATIC SURGICAL TECHNIQUE FOR A MIS (UN)DIAGNOSED BREAST CANCER: TOILET MASTECTOMY

Abstract

Treatment options in metastatic breast cancer are limited, and the general approach is treatment with systemic chemotherapy. However, today, the survival of patients with advanced-stage breast cancer can be extended with targeted therapies. Surgical treatment of the primary tumour called toilet mastectomy is inevitable in cases of bleeding, infection, and advanced breast cancer with skin involvement. This case report is aimed to present the diagnosis and treatment process of a patient with advanced breast cancer who underwent toilet mastectomy.
