    Abstract:
    We report a recurrent case of breast cancer successfully treated with intra-arterial infusion of doxorubicin hydrochloride (ADM) combined with systemic CAF therapy. The patient, a 37-year-old woman, was diagnosed with a recurrence at the thoracic wall 55 months after curative resection for right breast cancer. She was treated with intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy of ADM, 30 mg, combined with systemic CAF therapy of cyclophosphamide, 100 mg from days 1 to 14, ADM, 30 mg on days 1 and 8, and 5-fluorouracil, 500 mg on days 1 and 8, as one course. Two courses of the treatment resulted in a complete response of the tumor. This result suggests that local and systemic chemotherapy could be effective for the treatment of local recurrence of breast cancer.
