Abstract:
Objective : To observe the efficacy and security of vinorelbine containing regimens for patients with recurrentmetastatic breast cancer after docetaxel and anthracycline treatment.
Methods : A total of 61 cases were recruitedand 58 of them were evaluated. Forty-one patients received NP regimen (NVB 25mg/m
2 on day 1 and day 8, DDP75-80mg/m
2 in 2-5 days). The treatment was repeated every 3 weeks. Seventeen patients received NF regimen (NVB 25mg/m
2 on day 1 and day 8, capecitabine 800-1000 mg/m
2/d, d1-14. Three weeks was one cycle. In theNF group, capecitabine can be replaced by tegafur 600 mg/m
2, d 2-6 and repeated every 3 weeks. The dose wasadjusted according to adverse effects. The efficacy was evaluated every 2 cycles.
Results : In the NP group, CRwas achieved in 2 cases (4.9%), PR in 22 cases (56.1%), SD in 14 cases (34.1%), and PD in 2 cases (4.9%). Theresponse rate in the NP group was 61.0%. In the NF group, CR was achieved in 1 case (5.9%), PR in 8 cases(47.1%), SD in 7 cases (41.2%), and PD 1 case (5.9%). The response rate in the NF group was 52.9%. Thecommon toxicities included myelosuppression, gastrointestinal reactions, hand-foot syndrome and neurotoxicity.
Conclusion : Vinorelbine containing regimens can achieve good results for recurrent metastatic breast cancer afterdocetaxel and anthracycline treatment, with tolerable side effects.
