Anis K, Monib S. Bilateral locally advanced metastatic breast cancer at presentation: More work needs to be done! J Case Rep Images Surg 2021;7:100086Z12KA2021.ABSTRACT
Introduction: Breast cancer is considered the most common female cancer. As breast cancer incidence is well known to increase with age, screening programs in most countries stop inviting patients beyond the age of 70 years. Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) is a clinical challenge with poor outcome as the majority of patients either have metastatic disease at presentation or develop distant metastases despite all the efforts and resources geared for early detection of breast cancer and appropriate therapy.
Case Report: We are presenting a rare case of a bilateral, locally advanced, metastatic breast cancer at presentation.
Conclusion: Locally advanced metastatic breast cancer at presentation should be identified and treated promptly to reach a favorable outcome.
Keywords: Breast cancer, Locally advanced breast cancer, Metastatic breast cancer
