A 54 year-old female patient with disseminated breast cancer refractory to various kinds of previous therapies was treated with a combination therapy of 5'-DFUR, MPA and CPA. Partial response (PR) was obtained both against pleural and liver metastases with complete disappearance (CR) of soft tissue lesions and was still being continued for the following 7 months. No serious side effects were observed except for a mild degree of diarrhea and moon face. The patient was enjoying a favorable quality of life. We confirmed that this combination regimen was effective as the second line treatment for disseminated breast cancer.
