Abstract
In this short paper, we report our experience with eribulin mesylate in a heavily pretreated breast cancer patient with multiple bone metastases. The patient had been treated with doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, fluorouracil, tamoxifen, letrozole, LH-RH analogs, fulvestrant, bevacizumab and paclitaxel and liposomal doxorubicin. In November 2013 treatment with eribulin ready to use solution (1.23 mg/m2 days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle) was started and administered for a total of 14 courses. After six cycles of eribulin, evaluation with MRI showed a marked decrease in neoplastic involvement and replacement of osteolytic lesions with osteoblastic ones. No unexpected acute toxicity was observed. Although with all the limitations of any anecdotal report, our experience documents the efficacy and safety of eribulin in this difficult-to-treat patient who had been treated with multiple lines of chemotherapy.
