Page 71 2023 PAINT THE PAPER PINK Lincoln Daily News Oct/Nov 2023 If IBC has not spread beyond the breast, treatment usually includes chemotherapy first, followed by surgery to remove the cancer. Radiation and other more targeted drug therapies are given after surgery. If IBC has spread to other body parts, it is treated with chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted drug therapy. “There is encouraging news in the form of new drugs and treatment combinations for IBC,” added Dahut. “Specific drug combinations or combinations of drugs and radiation therapy are being tested to help keep the cancer from returning. For advanced disease, treatments that include new targeted therapies are being studied and certain immunotherapy drugs have already been approved for treatment of IBC that is triple negative.” Learn more about IBC at cancer.org/ inflammatorybreastcancer.
