  • Title: [A case of metastatic breast carcinoma with cardiac tamponade and pleural effusion showing long survival by local treatment combined with systemic chemotherapy].
    Author: Shimizu M, Sakauchi G, Mukai S, Sakamoto T.
    Journal: Gan To Kagaku Ryoho; 1992 Aug; 19(10 Suppl):1636-9. PubMed ID: 1530323.
    Abstract:
    This report describes a case of metastatic breast carcinoma in a 62-year-old woman with cardiac tamponade and pleural effusion. Pericardiocentesis followed by ADM (10 mg) instillation successfully controlled cardiac tamponade. After local treatment CAF systemic chemotherapy was performed without serious complications. A long survival time of 50 months was observed. This result suggests that in this case pericardiocentesis with ADM instillation was life saving and that systemic chemotherapy prolonged life.
