[Preoperative intra-arterial chemotherapy with THP-ADR for locally advanced breast cancer].
We treated 8 patients of Stage III and IV breast cancer preoperatively with THP-ADR intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy. The median dose was 200 mg with a range from 150 to 310 mg. The response rate of THP was 75.0% compared to 66.7% of ADR. Leucopenia was observed during THP treatment with a lower frequency of alopecia.
