Abstract |
A 46-year-old woman had undergone a mastectomy in 1994, and metastases to the lung, bones and liver were detected in 1998. Brain metastases were detected later. Chemotherapy consisting of docetaxel, aclarubicin and UFT was administered, and image diagnosis revealed that CR was achieved. The chemotherapy was continued on a long-term basis, both as an inpatient and outpatient. The total administered doses have reached 2,000 mg of docetaxel and 1,000 mg of aclarubicin. The CR is being maintained as of this writing, 2 years and 4 months after the detection of the metastases. The patient's course continues to be monitored.
