摘要

Purpose of Review

Guideline-concordant locoregional therapy (LRT) for inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) consists of modified radical mastectomy (MRM) after neoadjuvant systemic therapy and post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT). Despite advances in systemic therapy, de-escalation of LRT remains unsupported. This review synthesizes modern data affirming guideline-concordant LRT to optimize locoregional control and survival.

Recent Findings

Utilization of the validated IBC Scoring System can facilitate prompt and accurate diagnosis, yet adherence to life-saving guideline-concordant care is declining. Optimal LRT consists of MRM with resection of involved skin and PMRT delivering an equivalent dose in 2 Gy (Gy) fractions (EQD2) ≥ 60 Gy to the chest wall and involved, unresected lymph nodes. Adherence to guideline-concordant LRT combined with modern systemic therapies is associated with improved survival.

Summary

With earlier diagnosis and more effective systemic treatments, the potential for LRT to achieve durable remission is amplified. Guideline-concordant LRT remains essential to eradicate locoregional disease and maximize the curative potential of trimodality therapy.
