title: [Combination neoadjuvant therapy with continuous intra-arterial CDDP infusion and radiotherapy for locally advanced breast cancer].
abstract: Neoadjuvant therapy combined with intra-arterial continuous infusion of CDDP and external radiation was evaluated in a patient with locally advanced breast cancer. Although only MR was observed on the primary tumor, PR was found in several metastatic lymph nodes and daughter nodules. All tumor markers elevated before treatment decreased to normal ranges only by this therapy, and histological damage was also recognized remarkably with a high concentration of free Pt (8.89 micrograms/g) in cancer tissues. Since no severe side effects appeared during the present therapy, extended radical mastectomy with wide skin resection could be performed following additional intra-arterial chemotherapy using 5-FU, epi-ADM and MMC. From this experience, it was suggested that CDDP was an useful drug in the chemotherapy for breast cancer.
