    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Medical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Breast cancer treatment has evolved significantly, with chemotherapy playing a pivotal role in managing disseminated and metastatic disease.
    • Previous research has explored various chemotherapy regimens to optimize patient survival and remission rates.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of different chemotherapy principles in breast cancer treatment.
    • To identify key factors influencing treatment outcomes in breast cancer patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of data from two chemotherapy sessions focusing on breast cancer treatment.
    • Comparison of combination chemotherapy regimens, including doxorubicin-containing ones.
    • Assessment of the impact of drug dosage and treatment interruption on survival rates.

    Main Results:

    • Doxorubicin-containing combination chemotherapy demonstrated superior remission rates compared to other combinations.
    • Lower drug doses in combination chemotherapy were associated with reduced response rates.
    • Interruption of chemotherapy for local disease treatment in inflammatory breast cancer correlated with lower survival rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Combination chemotherapy, especially with doxorubicin, is a highly effective strategy for breast cancer.
    • Optimizing drug dosage and avoiding treatment interruptions are critical for improving survival in breast cancer patients.
