Abstract

We present a case of dramatic response of poor prognosis cancer in a lady with a germline mutation in the BRCA2 gene who was exposed to platinum containing chemotherapy. She is cancer-free 10 years' later. Such cases provide clinical scenarios for the basis of trials of platinum-like agents in individuals with BRCA mutations who develop cancer.
