A 58-year-old woman with multiple organ metastases from breast cancer who had undergone radical mastectomy three years ago, was treated with oral 5'-DFUR 600 mg/day. Complete remission (CR) of lymph node metastasis has been maintained for twenty-two weeks, with partial response (PR) against skin, liver and pleural metastases from 94 weeks of treatment. The patient, who continues to be treated, is well and enjoying a favorable quality of life. 5'-DFUR is considered to be an effective first choice for treating a patient with advanced or recurrent breast cancer.
