Abstract :
Background: Carcinoma breast is the
dominant cancer in urban females in India due to
hormonal imbalance. The patient usually presents with
symptoms of a painless lump in the breast axillary
lymphadenopathy, skin discoloration over the breast,
nipple discharge, and altered breast contour. Case report:
In this study, we report a case of a 70-year-old female
with complaints of a lump in the right breast and right
axillary node, who was diagnosed with right breast cancer
stage 3. The patient was given six cycles of neoadjuvant
chemotherapy, followed by hormone therapy and
hyperthermia using a remission one-degree machine.
Results: The breast and axillary node tumor responded
well to the treatment, and there was only minimal
residual activity in the post-treatment positron emission
tomography CT scan. Conclusions: Hyperthermia
treatment provides additive benefits along with
chemotherapy and hormone therapy for carcinoma
breast patients.
