[A case of giant advanced breast cancer responding remarkably to CEFT therapy].
A fifty-two-year-old female was admitted with unresectable advanced giant breast cancer, which was attached to the chest wall and had a bone metastasis to the thoracic vertebrae. At first, depression and fixation were performed for the bone metastasis, and 2 courses of CEFT therapy were administered. One course was intra-arterial chemotherapy. After 2 courses of treatment, the tumor size was not changed, but tumor marker, CT and physical findings showed a remarkable improvement, and mastectomy could be performed. It was suggested that this regimen is very effective for advanced giant breast cancer.
