## Background: High-dose chemotherapy with hematopoietic support produces high rates of response in metastatic breast cancer. to facilitate new high-dose regimens there is a need to identify active agents with toxicity limited to hematopoietic suppression. cisplatin/etoposide is a highly active reg

β¦ Synopsis
BACKGROUND.
Based on previous data demonstrating a potentially synergistic interaction between tamoxifen and cisplatin in metastatic melanoma therapy, a Phase I1 study was performed to assess the activity of tamoxifen, etoposide, mitoxantrone, and cisplatin (TEMP) in patients with metastatic breast carcinoma.
METHODS.
Forty-six patients with metastatic breast carcinoma were treated with tamoxifen, 10 mg orally, twice a day for 28 days; etoposide, 100 mglm', on Days 1-3; mitoxantrone, 10 mgfm', on Day 1; and cisplatin, 30 mg/m2, on Days 1 and 2. Forty-four patients (7 with bone-only disease) were evaluable for response and toxicity after at least 1 cycle of therapy. All patients had previously received doxorubicin-containing regimens in either the adjuvant or metastatic setting.

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The similarity between the mechanism of action between docetaxel and estramustine generated the hypothesis of synergistic antimicrotubule effects and cytotoxicity when the two agents are combined. In addition, it has been demonstrated that estramustine binds Pβglycoprotei
