[Modern principles of chemotherapy of metastatic breast cancer]
Abstract:
Treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer is one of the most difficult problems of clinical oncology. Chemotherapy is one of the main methods of treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer. Long experience of the world's cancer centers, advances in clinical oncology recent decades, the synthesis of anticancer drugs with new mechanisms of action have led to progress in the treatment of disseminated breast cancer. However, as shown by recent studies, the improvement of chemotherapy is not associated with reduced mortality from this disease. This paper presents the effectiveness of anticancer drugs and their combinations in the treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer. Compliance with which, as it seems to us to produce superior results in treating this disease.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
