ABSTRACT
Metastatic breast cancer is generally considered incurable. However, some patients show an exceptional response to treatment and enjoy long-term survival in good health. Here, we present a remarkable example of a patient who is still in remission 19 years after high-dose chemotherapy and locoregional treatment for limited oligometastatic breast cancer. We will outline our rationale for this treatment to explain her excellent response and suggest strategies to select larger patient groups that could similarly benefit from existing treatment approaches.
