Abstract: • Chest wall recurrence following radiation and hormonal therapy is an uncommon but serious and disabling condition. A chest wall ulcer secondary to treatment for recurrence also presents the same dilemma. Over the past 35 years, the Thoracic Service at our institution has treated 35 patients for these problems by surgical resection and reconstruction. Eight patients were seen after the first recurrence, six after the second, ten after the third, and ten after the fourth. One patient had chest wall resection with mastectomy when recurrence followed radiation therapy. Following resection of the tumor, 21 patients had reconstruction using mesh or a mesh "sandwich." There were no operative deaths and no respirator need. Twenty patients are alive from five to 120 months, with a median of 50 months. One of 35 patients had chest wall rerecurrence. Surgical resection of recurrent mammary carcinoma resistant to all other therapy is a viable alternative for both palliation and cure. ( Arch Surg 1989;124:158-161)

Chest wall neoplasms and their management.
TL;DR: Although uncommon, primary and metastatic neoplasms can occur in the chest wall and the choice of reconstruction techniques is based on the tumor's location, the size of the remaining defect, and the availability of autogenous graft materials.

Gold standard for sternectomies and plastic reconstructions after resections for primary or secondary sternal neoplasms.
TL;DR: The treatment of neoplasms by means of a broad sternal resection followed by a reconstruction based on the use of prosthetic materials is an effective and safe solution that considerably improves the quality of life and makes it possible to perform curative broad radical resections in the case of primary sternAL resections.

Chest Wall Reconstruction and Advanced Disease
TL;DR: The surgical approach to these cases incorporates a team of specialists from a broad spectrum of medical and surgical disciplines, and each operative plan is tailored to the specific needs and requirements of the individual patient.
Prognostic factors in patients with isolated recurrences of breast cancer (stage IV-NED).

TL;DR: Absence of axillary nodal involvement at the time of mastectomy and systemic therapy following local management is associated with improved DFS and OS, suggesting that systemic therapy after local treatment in stage IV-NED is indicated.

Chest wall resection for locally recurrent breast cancer: Indications, technique, and results
TL;DR: Although patients with isolated chest wall recurrence included a highly selected group, chest wall resection with myocutaneous reconstruction may provide long‐term disease‐free survival for these patients.

Ten-year experience with CMF-based adjuvant chemotherapy in resectable breast cancer.

TL;DR: It is suggested that 6 cycles of CMF can be considered a simple, safe, and moderately effective adjuvant therapy, and in women at very high risk of early relapse more vigorous drug regimens should be concentrated within the first six months from local-regional therapy.

New Trends in Skeletal Reconstruction after Resection of Chest Wall Tumors
TL;DR: It is believed excellent palliation can be achieved even in patients who are not potentially curable and who have chest wall resection in continuity with a malignant tumor.

Frequency, anatomical distribution and management of local recurrences after definitive therapy for breast cancer
TL;DR: In 90% of the patients who developed local recurrences, chest wall recurrence were the first manifestations of the disease.

Local or regionally recurrent carcinoma of the breast: results of therapy in 121 patients.
TL;DR: The group of 42 patients with residual disease who received systemic therapy after biopsy had improved disease-free and overall survival at 5 years in comparison to the group of 43 patients who received local therapy afterBiopsy, which produced more frequent and durable control of local disease than did systemic therapy.
