A 50-year-old female underwent mastectomy for left breast cancer in June, 1991. She received tamoxifen for 36 months and tegafur for 30 months as adjuvant therapy. In November 1997, liver, lung and para-aortic lymph node recurrences were found, and we treated her six times with docetaxel 60 mg. After the chemotherapy, a complete response (CR) of all metastatic lesions was achieved and her serum CA15-3 level was decreased. Adverse reactions were grade 4 neutropenia, grade 2 alopecia, fever, and grade 1 edema. She received medroxyprogesterone acetate after the chemotherapy and has been well without re-growth of any metastases for over eight months.
