Abstract

The author agrees with a previous paper by Drs. Bloom and Boesen that antiestrogens are valuable in treatment of breast cancer. However he stresses that if a time gap between therapy and nafoxidine treatment is not allowed the response which follows may merely be due to the rebound effect of with drawing endocrine therapy. The author feels his data are more comprehensive because he gives 3 clearly defined groups rather than 2. Both tamoxifen and nafoxidine show a 42% rate of partial response or complete tumor regression. He concludes that for the primary management of soft tissue breast cancer (as opposed to skeletal metastases) tamoxifen (or nafoxidine) is being prescribed in preference to the standard hormonal agents.
