Abstract
Twenty-nine advanced breast cancer patients, considered unable to tolerate conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy, were treated with a weekly schedule of epirubicin (15 mg/m2 i.v.). All patients were fully evaluable. A remission of 34.5% was observed (2 CR; 8 PR), with a median duration of response of 9 months (range, 3-24 months). Side effects were mild, and on the whole the toxicity was negligible. This regimen showed a favorable therapeutic ratio in our series and seems active and well tolerated even in elderly and/or poor performance status patients.
