The introduction of anti-HER2 therapy with trastuzumab has seen an increase in frequency of central nervous system metastasis as the site of first recurrence. Here, we present a rare case of a 63-year-old woman who presented with an isolated breast carcinoma pituitary metastasis 5 years following treatment for a high-risk breast cancer. This report underscores the changing nature of HER2-positive disease in the post-trastuzumab era.
随着曲妥珠单抗抗HER2治疗的引入,中枢神经系统转移作为首次复发部位的频率有所增加。在此,我们报告一例罕见病例,一名63岁女性在接受高危乳腺癌治疗5年后出现孤立性乳腺癌垂体转移。本报告强调了曲妥珠单抗时代HER2阳性疾病性质的变化。
