A Case of HER2-Positive Advanced Breast Cancer Who Was Able to Start and Continue Chemotherapy Despite Liver Damage Due to Diffuse Liver Metastasis

49-year-old woman, who diagnosed advanced breast cancer with, ER-positive, HER2-positive, T4bN1M1, Stage Ⅳ. At the time of initial diagnosis, liver damage equivalent to Child-Pugh classification C due to diffuse liver metastasis was observed, but trastuzumab/pertuzumab(HP)and paclitaxel(PTX)adjusted according to liver function were administered every 3 weeks, resulting in rapid improvement of liver function, PR of the primary tumor(90% reduction), PR of the liver metastases(70% reduction), and improvement of tumor markers. Currently, chemotherapy has been switched to docetaxel (DTX)due to peripheral neuropathy caused by PTX, and treatment is continuing. In the case of HER2-positive breast cancer, good disease control may be achieved with aggressive treatment and intervention under dose adjustment and careful systemic management, even in the setting of liver injury.
