Overview

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are indicated for Paget's disease of the breast as adjuvant therapy or palliative treatment in patients with underlying ductal carcinoma or invasive breast cancer. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for Paget's disease of the breast.

Medical Therapy

The mainstay of treatment for Paget's disease of the breast is surgery. Non-operative management is reserved for a very small proportion of patients.

Non-operative management

  • The mainstay of therapies for Paget's disease of the breast are divided into 2 groups: hormonal therapy and targeted therapy.
  • The primary goal of medical therapy is to reduce the risk of ipsilateral or contralateral breast invasion and also decreases the risk of recurrence.[1][2][3]

Hormonal Therapy

Targeted Therapy
