How Is Inflammatory Breast Cancer Treated?
Inflammatory breast cancer is an aggressive cancer that can spread quickly. Treatment options include:
- Surgery. Surgery involving a mastectomy may be performed after chemotherapy.
- Chemotherapy. This is given before surgery to shrink the tumor and make the cancer operable. Chemotherapy also decreases the chance the cancer will recur.
- Radiation. Often radiation is given after chemotherapy and surgery to reduce recurrence.
