Abstract

Advanced breast cancer with skin invasion are relatively often accompanied by bleeding, effusion, malodor, and pain, which reduce the quality of life(QOL)of the patients and their families. Therefore, local symptom control is as important as surgical treatment and chemotherapy. We control these symptoms by using cadexomer iodine, cadexomer iondine is expensive, but relatively easy for family to use and keep patients' QOL.
