Abstract

A female patient in her 70s. She was referred to our hospital with a huge left breast tumor. She was diagnosed with locally advanced Stage Ⅳ triple negative breast cancer. She refused chemotherapy that caused hair loss. Locoregional surgery and S-1 made it possible to continue treatment while maintaining a good quality of life.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
