title: [A case of recurrent breast cancer responding to combination therapy with mitoxantrone (MIT), 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5'-DFUR) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA)].
abstract: The patient was a 50-year-old woman who had undergone left standard radical mastectomy who had undergone left standard radical mastectomy on June 1, 1986. She showed multiple liver metastases with elevation of CEA level in July, 1991, and 5'-DFUR plus MPA combination therapy was started. The daily dosages were: 800 mg/body and 1,200 mg/body, respectively. After intra-arterial infusion of pirarubicin and Lipiodol, bilateral oophorectomy was performed and an implantable reservoir for intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy was implanted via the proper hepatic artery. Then she was treated by arterial-infusion of mitoxantrone 10mg/body intermittently every two weeks. The metastatic foci responded to this therapy and her CEA level decreased.
