    Abstract:
    A 54-year-old female had undergone surgery for breast cancer 5 years ago, after which she developed multiple lung metastases, in spite of treatment with various postoperative chemoendocrine therapies. The patient who had recurrent breast cancer with multiple lung metastases was treated with a combination of docetaxel (TXT) 80 mg/body three cycles, two courses of 40 mg/body four times and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) 600 mg p.o. daily. Six months later, the lung metastases had completely disappeared on chest CT-scan. Complete remission has been maintained for one and half years. The use of combined chemoendocrine therapy with TXT and MPA is considered effective for recurrent breast cancer as second-line therapy.
