| Summary: | Purpose : to describe rare cases of orbital metastases from breast cancer.
Material and Methods . Three cases of Luminal A(1) and B(2) breast cancer with orbital metastases were identified and studied during the period from 01.01.2018 to 01.05.2024. Metastasis to the orbit was detected 5, 2 and 1.5 years after radical mastectomy for breast cancer. Patients received chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Results . Cases of orbital metastasis originating from breast cancer were found to have a low frequency, but may be associated with a long period between cancer diagnosis and initiation of treatment. Early detection of breast cancer and its active treatment with chemotherapy and radiation therapy are important factors in preventing orbital metastasis.
Conclusion . A routine follow-up surveillance after radical treatment of breast cancer is important because there is an increase risk of developing orbital metastasis. Comprehensive strategies for treating breast cancer metastases can provide long-term disease control. |
