Background/purpose: Treatment options for irresectable locoregional recurrent breast cancer in previously irradiated area are limited. Hyperthermia, elevating tumor temperature to 40-45 degrees C, sensitizes radio-and-chemotherapy. Four hundred and fourteen patients treated with reirradiation + hyperthermia (reRT + HT) in the AMC((n=301)) and the BVI(n=113), from 1982 to 2005 were retrospectively analyzed for treatment response, locoregional control (LC) and prognostic factors for LC and toxicity.Patients/methods: All patients received previous irradiation (median 50 Gy). reRT consisted of 8 x 4 Gy-2/week (AMC) or 12 x 3 Gy-4/week (BVI). Hyperthermia was added once (AMC)/twice (BVI) a week.Results: Overall clinical response rate was 86%. The 3-year LC rate was 25%. The number of recurrence episodes, distant metastases (DM), tumor site, tumor size, time to recurrence and treatment year were significant for LC. Acute >= grade 3 toxicity occurred in 24% of patients. Actuarial late >= grade 3 toxicity was 23% at 3-years. In multivariable analysis reRT fraction dose was significantly related to late >= grade 3 toxicity.Conclusion: reRT + HT is an effective curative and palliative treatment option for patients with irresectable locoregional recurrent breast cancer in previously irradiated area.
