    Abstract:
    A seventy-one year-old woman suffered from Stage IIIb advanced breast cancer complicated with direct thoracic invasion and skin eruption. An indwelling intra-arterial catheter was inserted into the subclavian artery for the administration of anti tumor agents. After three courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with G-CSF and/or PBSCT reinfusion, the breast cancer revealed a remarkable size reduction and was absent from direct thoracic and pectoral muscle, invasion within the physical status and visual analysis by CT scan. Thereafter, the patient underwent a radical mastectomy. In the pathological findings of the operation specimen, despite a remarkable tumor collapse, the microscopic invasion remained in the shallow layer of the pectoral muscle. Thus, the patient should be given additional postoperative irradiation. The patients has had six months of stable tumor-free survival since the mastectomy.
