title: [The effectiveness of adjuvant chemotherapy with anthracyclines (adriablastin, doxorubicin) for stage-IIb-IIIa breast cancer].
abstract: The effectiveness of adjuvant treatment with anthracyclins (adriablastin, doxorubicin) and standard CMF regimens for breast tumors has been compared. The study included 349 patients with stage IIB-IIIA tumors (T1-2N2M0, T3N0-2M0) (mean age-46 years) during 1985-1990 follow-up-60.38 months. In the doxorubicin group, overall 5-year survival was 73 +/- 8%, in the CMF group-62 +/- 8%. Recurrence-free 5-year survival was 62 +/- 8 and 55 +/- 8%, respectively. The differences are not significant. A stage-related analysis established a significant difference in overall survival in patients with T1-2N2M0 tumors (c-sqare 9.92, p < 0.01). However, due to a small number of cases, the phenomenon requires further study. Although adriablastin treatment involved a significantly higher frequency of carciotoxic symptoms, complete alopecia and dyspeptic complication, a systemic administration of cardioxan and effective antiemetic drugs was lacking.
