[A case report: effective trans-arterial neoadjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel for a local advanced breast cancer patient].
Recently, there have been some reports about the effectiveness of docetaxel for breast cancer patients who had polychemotherapy previously in vein. We report here a case of a 47-year-old woman, who had been diagnosed as local advanced breast cancer. She was given trans-arterial chemotherapy with docetaxel after four series of CEF (cyclophosphamide, epirubicin, fluorouracil) therapy resulted in PD (progressive disease). Local disease was successfully controlled, and she could undergo standard radical mastectomy.
