Popis: A 66-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with the chief complaint of a huge exposed left breast mass with bleeding. Triple-negative invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast was diagnosed by core needle biopsy. Computed tomogra- phy showed axillary and infraclavicular lymph node metastases. Epirubicin/cyclophosphamide(EC)therapy was started. We reduced the dose to 80%during courses 2-4. After 4 courses of treatment, CT showed a complete response. We reduced the dose to 50% during courses 5-12 and stopped chemotherapy. Five years have passed without recurrence since the first treatment.
