Adriamycin and mitomycin C as initial chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer. 1984

S A Amiel, and J F Stewart, and H M Earl, and R K Knight, and R D Rubens

Adriamycin and mitomycin C in combination have been tested in the treatment of advanced breast cancer. In an initial pilot study 11 heavily pretreated patients received mitomycin C alone and 2 (18%) achieved partial responses. Subsequently, 27 patients who had not received prior chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer were treated with adriamycin 40 mg/m2 + mitomycin C 10 mg/m2 i.v. every 3 weeks. Six (22%) achieved complete and 10 (37%) achieved partial responses, giving an objective regression frequency of 59%. The median duration of response was 37 weeks (range 8-55+ weeks).
