RESUMO
Hepatic impairment in breast cancer arises from metastatic spread of tumor cells to the liver and signals a poor prognosis. Systemic therapy is the mainstay of treatment. Three women with hepatic dysfunction secondary to breast cancer who were treated with eribulin are presented herein. In the first case, third-line eribulin at the time of acute liver failure due to metastases maintained response for up to 9 months with good tolerability. In the second case, a woman with secondary bone and liver disease had progression-free survival of 5 months to third-line eribulin and, upon rechallenge after a drug holiday, had almost four more months of stable disease. Last, a heavily pretreated patient with secondary bone and hepatic involvement showed a response to fourth-line eribulin.
