Breast Cancer is a systemic disease with rising incidence all over World. In India where most of the patients present with advanced stage. Multimodal treatment with evolving research in breast cancer showed an evidence of increase in survival in Locally Advanced Breast Cancer (LABC). Based on this selected patients with LABC which are inoperable may have a survival benefit with Local Surgery and Adjuvant treatment. We present a case from Semi-Urban locality in India where facilities are poor. A Case Report of curative Mastectomy in Fungating Breast Cancer which progressed on Chemotherapy from a tier- 2 city with limited resources showed increased survival which can be taken as pilot study for advanced trials and research.
