A Case of Locally Advanced and Metastatic Breast Cancer Treated with Preoperative Bevacizumab Combination Chemotherapy That Attained Local Control

2018 
: We report a case of a 74-year-old woman with a left breast tumor with skin infiltration. Luminal type breast cancer with lung, bone, and parasternal lymph node metastases was diagnosed. She received paclitaxel and bevacizumab treatment. After chemotherapy, the lung metastasis and parasternal lymph node metastasis had disappeared, and the breast tumor had shrunk. Mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection were performed. She has been receiving post-operative endocrine therapy. Paclitaxel and bevacizumab combination therapy is one of the useful treatments for metastatic breast cancer with skin infiltration.
