Among fifty patients with bone metastases from breast cancer who were hospitalized between 1971 and 1980, 19 were given intermittent chemotherapy including both hormone-therapy (drostanolon propionate and tamoxifen) and a combination of cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, 5 FU, doxorubicin and vincristine (CMFDV). Comparison of these patients with two other groups given either miscellaneous chemotherapy programs (19 cases) or no chemotherapy (12 cases) exhibited the value of the standardized protocol, especially concerning median survival which exceeded three years (versus one year with the two other methods). Cobalt-therapy, chemotherapy and hormone-therapy in bone metastases from breast cancer are reviewed.
