Abstract
We report the case of a 57-year-old woman with unilateral choroidal metastases from HER-2-positive breast cancer. She was given trastuzumab and vinorelbine with complete resolution of her visual defect after one cycle of treatment. This article illustrates that treatment using trastuzumab-containing chemotherapy regimens in HER-2-overexpressing breast cancer patients with choroidal metastases may be an alternative therapeutic strategy to initial orbital irradiation.Entities:
