[Delivery of twins after undergoing adjuvant LHRH analogue and CEF therapy].
Chemotherapy is an important part of adjuvant therapy for younger patients with breast cancer, but prevention of ovarian dysfunction due to chemotherapy is important. There are some reports that pretreatment with LHRH analogue can preserve ovarian function. The present patient, who was treated in this way, delivered twins 6 years after surgery. A 33-year-old woman underwent breast conserving surgery for 1 cm carcinoma in the left A region, and pathologic findings were papillotubular carcinoma. t2n1 alpha (2/18) ER (+) PgR (+). LHRH analogue was administrated together with radiation therapy for the preserved breast. Six subsequent courses of CEF therapy were given, and then LHRH analogue was administered for 2 years and tamoxifen for 2 years and six months. Menstruation was recovered 6 months later and twins were delivered 3 years after the last administration of hormone therapy. This case should be referred in the treatment of young patients.
