[Efficacy and toxicity of combination treatment with epirubicin (EPI) plus docetaxel (DOC) in advanced breast cancer].

Thirty women (mean age 50.4 years, range 31-63) with primary advanced breast cancer were given EPI 40-60 mg/m(2) and DOC 50-60 mg/m(2) intravenously every three weeks. The efficacy was evaluated after 4 cycle treatments. There were 5 complete responses (CR) and 14 partial responses (PR), giving an overall response rate of 63.3%. There were 2 pathological CR (8%) which showed complete disappearance of cancer cells. The high dose group showed a better response than the low-dose group. The most common grade 3/4 adverse events were neutropenia (26.7%) and general fatigue (6.7%). The simultaneous combination treatment of EPI and DOC is effective for primary chemotherapy and can be performed safely even for outpatients.
