Hello,
I recently saw a 70y/o lady with a left breast pT2N0 grade 2 metaplastic carcinoma with a tiny invasive lobular component. She had a lumpectomy with widely clear margins and negative sentinel nodes.
Most of the literature I've seen on this essentially treats it as routine breast. Although, I think metaplastic carcinoma counts as a spindle cell neoplasm. Would any of you use a hypofx regimen such as Whelan Canadian or just do standard long course?
Anyone recall any similar cases?
thanks
