[A case of triple-negative breast cancer responding to multidisciplinary treatment containing bevacizumab].
2014
: We report a case of a 64-year-old woman with Stage IV breast cancer who responded well to chemotherapy containing bevacizumab. She noticed a left breast tumor with acute progression and was diagnosed as having Stage IV, estrogen receptor( ER)(-), progesterone receptor(PgR)(-), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)(-)breast cancer (T4cN3cM1[lymph nodes]). She received 5 courses of adriamycin(60mg/m / 2)plus cyclophosphamide(600mg/m2)(AC therapy)and 4 courses of weekly paclitaxel(PTX 90mg/m / 2)plus bevacizumab(AVA 10 mg/m2)as systemic therapy. Computed tomography(CT)and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)revealed a complete response(CR). After local resection of the breast tumor and radiation to the breast and regional lymph nodes, capecitabine therapy was initiated. Currently, at 5 months after surgery, no new lesion has been detected.
