[A Case of Luminal-HER2 Advanced Breast Cancer with Liver Metastasis Showed Pathological Complete Response to the Therapy with Pertuzumab plus Trastuzumab plus Docetaxel].

A 56-year-old woman noticed a mass on her left breast and visited our hospital. An irregular mass of 3 cm with associated axillary lymphadenopathy was detected under the nipple of the left breast. After further evaluations, the diagnosis was an invasive ductal carcinoma(scirrhous carcinoma)ofLuminal -HER2 type with liver metastases(cT4bN1M1, Stage IV). Treatment was initiated with a combination ofpertuzumab, trastuzumab, and docetaxel(PTD). The primary tumor showed a clinical complete response, and the liver metastases and the axillary lymph node metastases showed a partial response. Docetaxel was excluded after the 8th cycle because the patient experienced severe edema. After 15 cycles of therapy, the primary tumor was resected, and pathological examination revealed a pathological complete response ofthe primary lesion. Thus, PTD combination therapy is effective for Stage IV metastatic breast cancer ofthe Luminal-HER2 type.
