[Usefulness of Mohs Paste Against Breast Cancer with Skin Invasion]

We report with the addition of literature because we have experienced 3 cases of locally advanced breast cancer with skin invasion that have alleviated symptoms and improved quality of life by using Mohs paste. In Case 1, Mohs paste reduced exposed tumors, exudation, and bleeding. In Case 2, bleeding, which had been the cause of the marked anemia, was controlled, and tumor shrinkage and epithelialization were observed. Case 3 had a poor prognosis due to systemic metastasis, but the QOL improved for a certain period of time as exudation, bleeding, and foul odor were controlled. From the viewpoint of palliative care, Mohs paste is a safe and effective treatment method against various symptoms such as large amounts of exudation, bleeding, and foul odor caused by breast cancer skin invasion, and depending on the case, prognosis can be expected to be extended by shrinking the tumor. The cooperation of not only doctors but also palliative care teams including pharmacists and nurses is essential for use.
