Abstract
Docetaxel (taxotere) had successfully prolonged the survival time in a 59-year-old woman with breast cancer having distan metastases to the liver, lung, lymphnodes and bone. Adverse side effects included febrile neutropenia and reactive pleural effusion. The former was avoided by giving fractionated doses, but the later limitted the sequential administration. Despite, a partial response was gained for both the liver and lung metastases, the patient died of brain metastasis.
