Title: Management of radiation necrosis and advanced cancer of the chest wall in patients with breast malignancy

Journal Article · · Plast. Reconstr. Surg.; (United States)

Aggressive resection, with individualized reconstruction by several methods, is of value in many patients with radiation necrosis and/or advanced breast cancer of the chest wall. Although this does not always significantly lengthen survival, it can improve the quality of life markedly in many instances. Remarkably large defects can be reconstructed with single-stage procedures.
