[A case of triple negative chest wall recurrent breast cancer treated with capecitabine and docetaxel combination therapy (XT therapy)].
A 59-year-old woman underwent modified radical mastectomy for left breast cancer 9 years earlier. This time, a chest wall recurrence was found. A chest CT showed a chest wall tumor and lymph node metastases. PET images showed increased uptake in chest wall tumor and lymph nodes. The serum tumor markers have also elevated. Open biopsy of chest wall tumor was performed, and the tumor was diagnosed as invasive ductal carcinoma[ER(-), Pg R (-), HER2 score(0)]. Combination chemotherapy with capecitabine and docetaxel was initiated. After 7 courses of treatment, a marked response has been seen. Capecitabine and docetaxel combination therapy are considered useful for treatment of triple negative recurrent breast cancer.
