A-64-year-old woman, who had been treated with augmentation mammaplasty 40 years ago, came to our hospital complaining of left breast pain. The mass was ill-defined, located in the upper outer quadrant area of her breast, and was 2 cm in diameter. MRI examination showed that the tumor had a spiculation and an irregular edge. There were no regional lymph nodes in her axilla and supra-subscapular. The diagnosis was Class IV by the fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology. We diagnosed the left breast cancer being in T2N0M0, Stage IIA, then we carried out Bt (Auchincloss method) and Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). There were metastatic cancer cells in the sentinel lymph node. So, we added level II lymph nodes dissection. The histological diagnosis was papillotubular carcinoma, f+, n+ (8/11). The endocrine receptor status of the tumor was ER+, PgR+ and the HER2/neu score was 0. There was paraffinoma in the non-cancer area. We dosed 6 cycles of FEC chemotherapy (CPA 800 mg, EPI 80 mg, 5-FU 750 mg/body x 1 cycle). We recognized no side effects of the chemotherapy for the patient.

Taxanes (TX) were administered to 246 of 292 patients with recurrent/metastatic breast cancer (MBC) who were treated in Hiei Hospital between January 2001 and May 2006. Recently, TX has been increasingly prescribed for preoperative treatment and postoperative adjuvant therapy. To improve the prognosis of MBC, regimens effective for TX-resistant cancer patients should be developed. In this study, with respect to hormone receptor (HR) and Her 2/neu (HER 2), we retrospectively investigated whether our series responded to the regimens used after TX resistance was acquired. As post TX-resistance therapy (trastuzumab was combined in HER2-positive patients), 387 treatment regimens were administered to 166 patients. The following regimens achieved a response rate (patients achieving PR or CR/patients who could be evaluated) of 10% or more: combination therapy with TX and capecitabine (11/61, 18%), CPT-11 (10/57, 17.5%), vinorelbine (5/46, 10.9%), MFL-P (continuous treatment with MTX, 5-FU, LV, and CDDP) (12/47, 25.5%), and DMpC (5'-DFUR, MPA, CPA p.o.) (5/16, 31.2%). The latter 2 regimens achieved a high response rate,and some HR (-) and HER 2 (-) patients also responded to these regimens. In HR (+) or HER 2 (+) patients who responded to TX, survival was longer than that of non-responders. However, there was no difference in the treatment responsiveness of post-TX regimens between TX-responders and non-responders, suggesting the survival-prolonging effect of TX.
