Abstract:
PURPOSE:We assessed the clinical efficacy and safety of mitoxantrone hydrochloride which has been used as an anticancer drug in our hospital to treat breast cancer patients since 1993. METHODS:A group of 23 patients with breast cancer were given one course of the following regimen every 3 weeks: mitoxantrone hydrochloride (8 mg/m(2) i.v. day 1), vincristine sulfate (1.2 mg/m(2) i.v. day 1), and prednisolone (30 mg orally days 1-7). RESULTS:The response rate was 52.2% including a complete response in four patients, and a partial response in eight patients. Adverse drug reactions included leukocytopenia (78.3%, 18/23 patients), alopecia (30.8%, 7/23), and peripheral neuropathy and generalized fatigue (26.1%, 6/23). In patients responding to the drug regimen, 50% survival was 29 months, and in those not responding it was 12 months. CONCLUSION:Combination treatment with mitoxantrone hydrochloride, vincristine sulfate and prednisolone is an effective treatment for breast cancer.
