title: [5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5'-DFUR), mitomycin C (MMC), etoposide and medroxy progesterone acetate (MPA) in a previously treated patient with advanced breast cancer].
abstract: An advanced breast cancer patient refractory to CAF (Cyclophosphamide, Adriamycin, 5-fluorouracil), 5-FU-Methotrexate sequential therapy and Tamoxifen was treated with the combination 5' DFUR, MMC, Etoposide and MPA. Complete response was obtained both against liver and lymph node metastases from 7 months after the initial treatment. A mild bone marrow suppression and appetite loss were observed as the side effect. It is suggested that the combination therapy may be useful for previously treated patients with advanced breast cancer.
