title: [A case of advanced breast cancer accompanied with alcoholic liver cirrhosis].
abstract: We reported the case of a 59-year-old man who had advanced breast cancer accompanied with alcoholic liver cirrhosis. In particular to treat the patient, we paid attention to the following five points: (1) evaluation and diagnosis of hepatic nodules, (2) determining the timing of local excision, (3) setting the dose of anti-cancer drugs under liver dysfunction, (4) teaching abstinence or sobriety and (5) control of ascites and other complication of cirrhosis. After three years and 4 months from surgery, this case showed no increase in the liver nodules and no signs of relapse of the breast cancer.
