[A case of complete response of locally advanced breast cancer to arterial infusion chemotherapy: cannulation through the right femoral artery and combined use of G-CSF].
We reported a case of locally advanced breast cancer who was cannulated into the right internal thoracic artery through the right femoral artery by Seldinger's method for intra-arterial chemotherapy and obtained good results. In general, aggressive chemotherapy is often accompanied by bone marrow suppression necessitating discontinuation of chemotherapy. However, this patient recovered from this complication by G-CSF. It was suggested that Seldinger's method is suitable for locally advanced breast cancer and that G-CSF has an immediate effect of bone marrow suppression caused by aggressive chemotherapy.
