Abstrakt
Locally advanced breast cancer (stadium III-IV, T3-4) can involve the thoracic wall as well as larger skin areas. This may result in symptoms such as pain, malodorous wounds, and a reduced quality of life. In some selected cases a palliative surgical intervention may be indicated. This case story present two cases of locally advanced breast cancer which were managed surgically in a co-operation between thoracic, plastic and breast cancer surgeons. Both cases were preoperatively evaluated at a multidisciplinary team conference.
