Abstract
Treatment of locally advanced breast carcinoma by the accepted modalities is frequently
followed by local failure, acceleration of metastases, or crippling complications
of the therapy itself.
A preliminary case report is therefore made of successful local treatment utilizing
a zinc chloride paste fixative. The surface of the carcinoma was thereby destroyed
to a depth of about 5 mm, this dead peel being excised virtually without pain at the
patient's bedside. A successive coating of fixative was then applied, and subsequently
destroyed cancer excised until histologically normal tissue was reached. A skin graft
to the granulating base completed the local care of the wound.
