Fulvestrant is indicated in the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer as second line at the present time, after first line hormone therapy. We present here a case report of a 47-year-old woman diagnosed with infiltrating ductal carcinoma left breast cancer in 1998, stage II, luminal B HER2-positive and a liver and ganglionar relapse 3 years later. After radical treatment, fulvestrant was indicated. She has been 10 years with this treatment, with an excellent tolerance and without showing progression until now.
