Abstract

Immunotherapy is a promising anticancer strategy. In the present report, the case of a 36‑year‑old female patient with pathologically diagnosed, left triple‑negative breast cancer and axillary lymph node involvement is reported. The patient received immunotherapy in combination with neoadjuvant anthracycline‑free chemotherapy for six cycles, before undergoing left mastectomy and left axillary lymph node dissection. The postoperative pathology was a complete response to treatment, involving eradication of tumor from both the breast and the relevant lymph nodes. However, thyroid dysfunction occurred after two cycles of neoadjuvant treatment. The clinical presentation of the thyroid disorder was transient hyperthyroidism for 4 weeks and subsequent hypothyroidism, which required hormone replacement therapy.
