  • Abstract
    This previously unreported renaissance painting depicts a young woman with locally advanced breast cancer reaching out towards a healing potion in the church of Santa Maria della Grazia in Milan, that houses Leonardo da Vinciʹs Last supper. Todayʹs potion may well contain neoadjuvant systemic therapy including trastuzumab that may allow breast conserving surgery and targeted intraoperative radiotherapy.
