Weekly anthracycline in the treatment of advanced breast cancer.
In two consecutive prospective and randomized studies, very similar response rates (31 and 36% respectively) were obtained for weekly 20 mg doses of doxorubicin among 143 patients with advanced breast cancer. The treatment was well tolerated and most patients had only moderate, if any, complaints about this treatment.
