Abstract

A 39-year-old woman underwent partial mastectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy for right triple negative breast cancer(T2N0M0, Stage ⅡA). Six months later, ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence(IBTR)was observed and paclitaxel plus bevacizumab therapy was started, but anaphylactoid symptoms appeared and the patient was discontinued. Subsequently, eribulin was started, but the IBTR was increased ineffectively. At that point, IBTR had progressed, apparently unresectable, with no distant metastases. We predicted from the patient's background that the patient may be associated with BRCA1 gene mutation and was sensitive to the platinum salts. Carboplatin plus gemcitabine was selected and 6 courses were performed. After the 6 courses, the IBTR were remarkably reduced and resectable, and mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection were performed. One year after the operation, contralateral breast cancer develop and found to be hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC) by Genetic test. About 6 years have passed since local recurrence, but no distant metastases have been observed.
