title: [Long-term response of liver metastases of breast cancer to capecitabine--case report].
abstract: A case report of a patient with HER2-positive liver metastases of breast cancer. Partial regression was reached during chemotherapy, which was further stabilized by trastuzumab. Resection of the metastases was performed after progression. Capecitabine was started after the occurrence of new multiple lesions; complete regression was reached, which has now lasted over three years with continued capecitabine treatment.
