[A case of postoperative pulmonary metastasis of breast cancer treated with docetaxel and cyclophosphamide therapy].
A 55-year-old woman underwent a partial breast resection in our hospital for breast cancer in May 2002. For adjuvant therapy, she received cyclophosphamide, pirarubicin and 5-FU infusion a total of 6 times, and anastrozole. Then, in May of 2004, an abnormal shadow was detected on her of chest X-ray. After CT scan we diagnosed multiple pulmonary metastasis of breast cancer. We used combination therapy of docetaxel 60 mg/m(2) and cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m(2). After 9 months, pulmonary metastasis disappeared on her CT scan. During chemotherapy, she showed no major side effect.
