Abstract
The current report presents a case of a pregnant woman with breast cancer metastasized to liver and lungs. The standard of care for breast cancer in pregnancy is anthracycline/taxane-based chemotherapy regimens. Docetaxel has shown a favorable toxicity profile during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. A novel nanosomal docetaxel lipid suspension (NDLS) (DoceAqualip), with a proven efficacy and tolerability profile, has been approved in India for the treatment of advanced solid tumors since 2013. We present here a case of a pregnant woman with metastatic breast cancer managed with NDLS based TAC regimen showing a partial response after six cycles. The patient delivered a healthy male child with normal Apgar score and weight at the 32nd week of gestation.
