Overview
The predominant therapy for Paget's disease of the breast is surgical resection. Adjunctive radiation may be required.
Medical Therapy
Chemotherapy
- Chemotherapy may be offered for women with Paget's disease of the breast who have an underlying invasive breast cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes.
- Drugs and combinations are the same as used for breast cancer.
Radiation Therapy
- External beam radiation therapy is given after breast-conserving surgery to reduce the chance of the cancer recurring in the breast.
- It is also given if the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes.
Hormonal therapy
- Hormonal therapy may be offered if the cancer is hormone receptor positive.
