title: [Chemotherapy as an adjuvant treatment in breast cancer (author's transl)].
abstract: Prolonged L-Phenylalanin mustard Administration and combination chemotherapy as on adjuvant to mastectomy in the management of patients with primary breast cancer and pathologically axillary nods. Lead to improvement of results. L-PAM and CMF have been demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of women with primary breast cancer, particularly those who are premenopausal. In our trial no improvement of results could be observed by administration of Chlorambucil, Cyclophosphamide and 5-FU. Experience with both single-drug and combination chemotherapy has shown that the benefit of these treatments, as judged by the disease-free intervall, is restricted largely to premenopausal patients. This suggest that the therapeutic effect is due, at least to cytotoxic suppression of endocrine function. Therefore further prospective trial in this field are necessary.
