Nineteen patients with advanced, previously treated breast cancer received treatment with vincristine 2 mg i.v., mitomycin-C 6 mg/m2 and mitoxantrone (Novantrone; dihydroxyanthracenedione) 12 mg/m2 i.v. every three weeks. Thirteen patients are evaluable for response and toxicity. Partial remission was seen in six patients, with soft tissue, bone and visceral metastases and static disease in a further four patients. Median duration of response has not yet been reached (8+ months). Toxicity was mild and predictable, with no patient experiencing severe nausea and vomiting, and only four of the patients requiring a wig for alopecia. Malaise and lethargy were common in those patients receiving more than three courses, and an increase in the mean corpuscular volume (MCV) together with a fall in haemoglobin were seen in patients receiving multiple courses of treatment. The study suggests that this combination is active, and may prove useful with other agents in the treatment of breast cancer.
