370412 -        72-year old female with history of invasive breast ca of the
370413 -        left breast who was initially diagnosed 3/4/02.  She had
370414 -        recurrent disease noted initially in the cervical lymph nodes
370415 -        3/3/04.  On E2100 study with Avastin she had a PE noted on CT
370416 -        11/3/04.  Then, because of progression of disease, the patient
370417 -        was started on Taxotere and Xeloda 4/15/05.  She had a total of
370418 -        8 cycles ending 9/16/05.  She had a palliative left mastectomy
370419 -        performed 10/21/05.  Then her left chest lesions began
370420 -        expanding again.  The patient started Taxotere and Xeloda again
370421 -        7/21/06 for 7 cycles.  She was started on a clinical trial
370422 -        2/1/07 at UCSF and was randomized to the Erbitux only (no
370423 -        carbo) arm.  She had weekly carboplatin added 3/13/08 because
370424 -        of progression of disease.  Her disease has progressed again
370425 -        and she is seen considered for Phase I/II study of Sunitinib

370443 -        study was performed in conjunction with the study of the CT of

370445 -        administered in total for both exams. ref DRT 1 G84H

370448 - The doctor's clarification that this report supplements the report for
370449 - the chest, abdomen, and pelvis is very helpful; this is a day late,
370450 - because separate submission caused confusion and error applying the
370451 - first report earlier this morning at UCSF, because nobody was aware
370452 - there were multiple reports.
