Abstract

A 67-year-old woman was diagnosed with Stage ⅡA breast cancer(T2N0M0)in 2003. She underwent mastectomy and lymph node dissection. Oral fluoropyrimidine was administered for 3 years as adjuvant chemotherapy. In 2008, the patient was diagnosed with multiple bone metastases and left supraclavicular lymph node metastasis. Radiotherapy was performed on the left first rib and left supraclavicular lymph node. She was treated with chemotherapy and endocrine therapy and bone metastasis therapeutic agent. In 2013, multiple liver metastases were noted and treated with chemotherapy. Liver metastases were well-controlled. Endocrine therapy was continued for bone metastases without visceral metastasis. In 2016, the patient was diagnosed with bone marrow carcinomatosis and died 2 weeks later due to bone marrow carcinomatosis.
