Neglected locally advanced breast cancer: Ignorance is a curse
Breast cancer is the most common cancer worldwide. As per GLOBOCAN 2020, female breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer (11.7% of total cases). In India, like any other cancer, breast cancer patients present late to the clinic with more than 60% presenting in Stage 3rd and 4th, of these 25% of locally advanced breast cancers develop a fungating breast lesion causing significant distress for the patient, physically, mentally, as well as socially. The subset of patients with locally advanced fungating mass poses a big challenge to the treating surgeon. In this case report, a locally advanced fungating breast cancer weighing 7.5 kg was removed by surgery.
