Abstract

In human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2+) expressing breast cancer subtype, the incidence of brain metastases is common and patients often die due to uncontrolled cranial disease. This is a case report of a HER2+ breast cancer woman with diffuse brain metastases that experienced long survival and clinical benefit from multiple radiotherapy treatments and combined systemic therapy, without increased toxicity.
