In our wide experience of treating advanced breast carcinoma with chemotherapy, the combination of doxorubicin (DOX), vincristine (VCR), cyclophosphamide (CPM) and fluorouracil (FU) gave a complete plus partial response rate of over 60%, with 100% alopecia and frequent cardiac toxicity depending on

In this study, 30 evaluable patients with advanced carcinoma of the breast were treated with cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2 i.v. followed one day later with mitoxantrone (Novantrone; dihydroxyanthracenedione) 16 mg/m2 i.v. Drug treatment was repeated every 3-4 weeks, for a maximum of 12 cycles. The over
New agents with increased activity and/or reduced toxicity are needed for the treatment of advanced breast cancer. The anthracene derivatives mitoxantrone and bisantrene had significant activity and acceptable toxicity in phase II trials. In an ongoing phasc III trial we have now randomized 150 pati
Thirty-six evaluable patients with advanced breast cancer who had failed prior CMF therapy [15 (42%) as adjuvant treatment and 21 (58%) for advanced disease] were treated with a combination of vincristine, doxorubicin, and mitomycin (VAM). There was one CR and 10 PR, giving a response rate of 31% (P
