Abstract EN
The local control of the primary breast cancer in metastatic patients yields a survival benefit attributed to the reduction of the tumor cell load and activation of the immune system.
Clinical studies do not firmly support this theory and oncologists and oncological surgeons are facing dilemmas in the management of these patients.
In this paper, we review the optimal patient profile as well as the type and timing of surgery for primary tumor resection of metastatic breast cancers.
Abstract FRE
La résection d’un cancer du sein métastatique repose sur le principe de réduction de la charge tumorale circulante et l’activation du système immunitaire.
Les études cliniques n’ont cependant pas démontré une amélioration de la survie globale ou de la survie sans progression.
Oncologues et oncochirurgiens se trouvent donc souvent devant un dilemme concernant la prise en charge de telles patientes.
C’est dans cet esprit que ce travail réexamine le profil et le temps optimal des patientes candidates à une chirurgie.
Sont également discutés le type de chirurgie et l’indication du curage ganglionnaire pour aboutir à une prise en charge optimale de ces patientes.
