A 63-year-old female with locally advanced @entity0 was treated with preoperative chemotherapy using @entity1205 . The therapeutic regimen was comprised of four cycles at 3-week intervals. One cycle consisted of 80 mg of @entity1205 which was administered on day 1. A remarkable response was confirmed. The side effects such as @entity1431 , general fatigue and @entity1665 were moderate and had no influence on the @entity1 's QOL. After preoperative chemotherapy, a full thickness chest wall resection was performed. Chest wall defect was reconstructed with orthopedic A-O metallic plates, Marlex mesh and rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap. These metal plates were very useful because it was easy to bend and twist them manually to fit the defect at the time of operation. Moreover, the curved metal plates preserved the cone form of the chest cage. The postoperative course was favourable without frail @entity5837 .
