[A case of advanced breast cancer with multiple lung metastases responding well to postoperative combined administration of doxifluridine (5'-DFUR) and tamoxifen].
A 72-year-old female with right breast cancer having multiple lung metastases was treated by combined administration of 5'-DFUR at 800 mg/day, and tamoxifen, at 20 mg/day, after standard radical mastectomy. Plain chest X-ray and computed tomography examinations have shown complete disappearance of the multiple lung tumor since the therapy. No serious side effects have been observed during the treatment course, and there has been no definite evidence of tumor recurrence.
