title: [Mammary gland carcinoma treated by large-dose medroxyprogesterone acetate of which pulmonary metastases disappeared and a selection of hormone, chemoimmunological treatment].
abstract: A patient who underwent radical mastectomy was treated by tegafur and tamoxifen. Pulmonary metastases were found four months after operation. Lymphokine activated killer (LAK) and auxiliary interleukin-2 (IL-2) administration was performed, with no change (NC). However, administration of large-dose medroxyprogesterone acetate induced complete disappearance of pulmonary metastases after more than nine months.
