Treatment for IBC typically involves a multi-modal approach due to its aggressive nature. The primary treatments include:
Chemotherapy: Often administered first to shrink the tumor and kill cancer cells. Surgery: Usually follows chemotherapy; often a mastectomy (removal of the breast) is performed. Radiation therapy: Applied post-surgery to kill any remaining cancer cells. Targeted therapy and hormone therapy: Depending on the specific characteristics of the cancer cells, these may be used to block the growth of cancer cells.
