Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women in Poland. Endocrine therapy is the first line of treatment in hormone-receptor-positive advanced breast cancer. Progression during endocrine therapy is unavoidable. Administration of mTOR inhibitor gives a chance of reversing the acquired resistance. This paper presents a case report of a patient with metastatic breast cancer successfully treated with everolimus added to endocrine therapy.
