Published: September 2007

The treatment of loco-regional recurrence (LRR) after breast cancer is based on the achievement of loco-regional control by radical surgery and adjuvant postoperative radiotherapy.

Adjuvant chemotherapy is not applied to patients with LRR who have had radical loco-regional salvage treatment. Further studies are needed to elucidate this issue.
