Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common non-skin malignancy in women, the second most common
cause of cancer death, and the main cause of death in women ages 45 to 55 years. An estimated
1 million cases of breast cancer are diagnosed annually worldwide. Approximately
5-10% of patients with breast cancer have distant metastases at first presentation.
The patient came to the Clinic of oncology and radiotherapy in March 2005 for further
treatment with the diagnosis: Carcinoma metastaticum vertebrae lumbosacralis.
Initial treatment was included 6 cycles of chemotherapy, bisphosphonate therapy and realized
radiotherapy. Tumor markers at the end of treatment: CEA 238; CA15-3: 19.6. After
that a radical mastectomy of the left breast with dissection of left axilla was conducted and
pathological analysis showed poorly differentiated ductal invasive carcinoma (grade 3 according
to Nottingham Histologic Score) with immunohistochemistry findings: HER: negative,
ER: negative, PR: negative or Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC).
