Abstract:
Secondary breast cancer represents 6 to 9% of secondary neoplasia after treatments for Hodgkin Disease (HD). Mostly, they appear 10 years after the end of treatments for HD. The most important risk factors are mantle field irradiation and the young age. The means of screening and treatments are still in discussion. We report a case of bilateral intraductal and invasive carcinoma that occurred 16 years after treatments for HD, developing its particularities in diagnosis and treatment, particularly place of conservative treatments and sentinel lymph node biopsy.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
