Popis: Rechallenge of immune checkpoint inhibitors has been reported for neoplasms other than breast cancer. Reported here is a case of a 55-year old woman diagnosed as having triple-negative right breast cancer with multiple metastases including lung. Atezolizumab and nab-paclitaxel were administered followed by epirubicin–cyclophosphamide. With subsequent eribulin, the overall best response was progressive disease, and curative surgical resection was performed. Three months after surgery (1.5 years after initial response of lung metastasis), right lung metastasis emerged at a site different from baseline. Based on the microsatellite instability-high status, pembrolizumab was administered and showed a good response. The patient has been treated with pembrolizumab, maintaining partial response, for over 9 months, which suggests the benefit of immune checkpoint inhibitors rechallenge in breast cancer.
