Abstract
The treatment of patients with primarily disseminated breast cancer (PDBC) is based on chemo- and radiotherapy. Removal of primary tumor is not usually recommended. The goal of surgery is to prevent local complications. However, in recent years, there have been reports of a number of trials suggesting that surgical treatment is warranted. The paper presents the biological aspects of metastasis and the results of removing a primary tumor in PDBC patients with ECOG 0-1.
