Abstract

The case was a 40-year-old female who was aware of a right breast mass for 1 year before her first visit. She had visited her previous doctor because the mass was gradually increasing in size. After close examination, she was diagnosed with Stage ⅢC triple-negative breast cancer. She underwent 4 courses of EC therapy and 7 courses of paclitaxel(PTX)plus bevacizumab( Bev)therapy and was then, referred to our hospital for resection. We instituted a 2-month break from Bev to prevent postoperative complications. She underwent a right mastectomy, combined chest wall resection, lymph node dissection, and chest wall reconstruction. Because the postoperative course was good and quality of life improved, the multidisciplinary treatment with surgery and pharmacotherapy was considered effective in locally advanced breast cancer.
