Patient with Advanced Stage Breast Cancer Name: Mrs. XXX

Diagnosed with cancer of left breast.
Underwent modified radical mastectomy. Dec 2006 underwent TA chemotherapy 4 cycles .
April 2007 discovered tumour above left clavicle.
Investigations revealed metastasis in mammary gland.
Several treatment techniques failed to produce fruitful results
thus bringing her under the guardianship of our hospital.
Pathological diagnosis on admission to You Hao hospital:
Poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the left breast, partly clear cell carcinoma,
partly medullary carcinoma, vascular invasion.
Immunohistochemical staining test results:
ER(+), PR(+), CERBB-2 (+++), CA15-3 (++) with
Due to the disease being in its advanced stage chemotherapy was ruled out and biotherapy was opted for.
Even though after a month, progress was shown complications raised later.
The next PET/CT scan showed immense complications and widespread metastasis.
Considering high risks of mortality the doctors tried an absolutely new and advanced
form of treatment which for the first time was used in China and abroad proved to be very
successful and the patient showed immense improvement.
The patient was mentally and physically very well. 2 November 2007 Came to Guangzhou
for a PET/CT scan re-examination:
After subsequent comprehensive treatment: (1) most of the tumours in the left chest wall have disappeared,
metabolism reduced significantly indicating significant
therapeutic effectiveness. (2) the original pervasive metastasis in both lungs have basically disappeared,
the original pleural effusion in both lung has been completely absorbed.
(3) The original multiple metastases in the lymph
nodes above the clavicles, underneath the left armpit had largely disappeared.
(4) Multiple metastasis in T 10, 11, 12, 14 and right iliac bone.
