New sequential dosing regimen shows promise in node-positive breast cancer.

چکیده
April 01, 1996 | Breast Cancer [1] Sequential dosing may improve the effectiveness of adjuvant chemotherapy regimens in node-positive breast cancer, by limiting overlapping toxicity while maximizing dose-intensity, Clifford A. Hudis, MD, said at the Chemotherapy Foundation's 13th annual symposium. At Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, where Dr. Hudis is assistant attending physician in the Breast Cancer Medicine Service, researchers are testing a sequential dosing regimen that combines doxorubicin, paclitaxel (Taxol), and cyclophosphamide, supported by granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF, Neupogen).

متن کاملSequential dose-dense adjuvant therapy with doxorubicin, paclitaxel, and cyclophosphamide.
The recognition of paclitaxel's (Taxol) activity and non-cross-resistance with doxorubicin (Adriamycin) in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer has motivated study of the agent in the adjuvant setting. However, the ideal means of incorporating this new agent is not yet known. In stage IV disease, exciting results have been seen with combinations of doxorubicin plus paclitaxel, and this app...
