Spinal Metastasis of Breast Cancer after 14 Years: A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Breast cancer is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the developing as well as developed countries. The undermined pathophysiology is responsible for the diversity of presentation at the time of diagnosis, response to treatment and recurrence or metastatic potential of the disease. Bone is the most common site of metastatic recurrence in hormonal receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer. Sometimes an early stage breast cancer especially HR+ subgroup has the potential to recur or metastasize after long duration (<10 years) as spinal metastasis. The bone-only metastases in breast cancer have excellent clinical outcomes, which is developed mainly in the HR+ subgroup. This should be kept in the mind of treating oncologist during follow up treatment. We conclude that Hormonal therapy can be possibly given sequentially at intervals of 2-3 years as per the menopausal and hormonal status in contrast to the present protocol of continuous 5-10 years.
