[Initial results with PAC polychemotherapy in the treatment of advanced recurrent breast cancers]

11 patients with advanced, recurrent mamma cancer were treated by a PAC polychemotherapy. The therapy was well tolerated, the incidence of side effects was low. All patients responded to therapy (7 NED, 3 CR, 1 PR). 2 patients died, one commited suicide, the other died after having developed hepatitis. Of the remaining 9 patients 7 survive recurrence free; medium follow up 20 months. These data are in accordance with results obtained by Kolarić et al. [2] and Forastiere et al. [1] who showed platinum to be effective in the treatment of mamma cancer.
