Abstract:
We report a rare case of a 56-year-old Ukrainian female with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiation and left radical mastectomy with her clinical course complicated by disease recurrence with bone and bladder metastases 2.5 years after her initial diagnosis. We highlight the presentation and diagnosis of genitourinary involvement of metastatic IBC, which has not previously been described in the literature.

Metastasis
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
Disorders of the Urinary System
