Aggressive primary therapy—surgery combined with irradiation—which is designed to treat the entire breast as well as both primary lymphatic depots of the breast has resulted in marked improvement in local control and has increased over-all salvage as well.Primary breast cancers which have already spread to the internal mammary lymph nodes can be salvaged long-term wise through aggressive surgery and radiation therapy.
