Objective response rates in its use as a single agent in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer are not to be underestimated. Cutaneous, hematological, pulmonary, and vascular side effects are well-known side effects. Venous thromboembolism may occur with antineoplastics, such as platinum compounds. Arterial thromboembolism is rare in cancer, almost rare with chemotherapy. Here, we present a metastatic breast cancer patient who had digital necrosis due to arterial occlusion with gemcitabine monotherapy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case report<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 54-year-old metastatic breast cancer female patient had digital ischemia and necrosis in the left hand's fifth finger after the second course of single-agent gemcitabine as the fourth line setting. Gemcitabine was discontinued, and medical treatment was started. Thrombus was detected in the left subclavian artery digital angiography. Balloon angioplasty and stenting were applied. However, digital amputation had to be performed since tissue necrosis had not regressed despite radiological interventions and medical treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Management and outcome<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Gemcitabine was discontinued. Low molecular weight heparin and acetylsalicylic acid were started. The distal phalanx was amputated due to necrosis during follow-up. Gemcitabine was permanently stopped.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Gemcitabine-related vascular events, including arterial thrombosis, may also occur in cancer patients, especially those with higher tumor burden. Therefore, predisposing factors for hypercoagulability and vascular occlusion should be questioned in more detail even before starting antineoplastics which are known to have a lower risk for thrombosis, such as gemcitabine monotherapy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10781552231182356","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,13]],"date-time":"2023-06-13T01:55:36Z","timestamp":1686621336000},"page":"1770-1775","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Gemcitabine-associated digital necrosis in metastatic breast cancer"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5071-9679","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alper","family":"T\u00fcrkel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Medical Oncology, Dr Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Research and Training Hospital, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mustafa","family":"\u00d6zdemir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, University of Health Sciences, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aziz","family":"Kurtulu\u015f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Medical Oncology, Dr Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Research and Training Hospital, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9359-3770","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mutlu","family":"Do\u011fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Medical Oncology, Dr Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Research and Training Hospital, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-10781552231182356","first-page":"6110","volume":"51","author":"Huang P","year":"1991","journal-title":"Cancer Res"},{"key":"bibr2-10781552231182356","unstructured":"Administration UFaD.
