title: [A case report of advanced breast cancer with remarkable response to chemoendocrine therapy (CTF + MPA)].
abstract: A 59-year-old female complaining of breast tumor with suppurative discharge was diagnosed as having advanced breast cancer (T4cN3M1-StIV), with giant liver metastasis. Seven courses of combined chemoendocrine therapy (CTF + MPA) were used. Following the chemoendocrine therapy, primary tumor, lung, pleural, supraclavicular and parasternal metastasis disappeared, and the liver metastasis was obviously diminished. These effects continued for 1 year 7 months. Although CTF + MPA chemoendocrine therapy is widely used with advanced or recurrent breast cancer, a clearly effective case has almost never been reported. The reason for the remarkable effect in this case was the consistent immunity to breast cancer.
