Thirty-five premenopausal patients with metastasized or locally advanced breast cancer underwent ovariectomy. At relapse, after surgery, they were treated with hormone therapy or chemotherapy, according to hormonal tests carried out before the castration. Five-year survival, computed with the actuarial method, confirmed the better prognosis of the hormone-dependent patients and also an improved prognosis in the patients treated with hormone therapy after ovariectomy. Furthermore, chemotherapy proved more efficacious: an increased survival was observed in the non-hormone-dependent patients.

Aims and background Goserelin is a gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue that induces the suppression of gonadal steroidogenesis, and it could therefore be a medical alternative to irreversible surgical castration. We report the clinical and endocrine results from 40 goserelin-treated premenopausal patients with advanced breast cancer. Methods A depot formulation of the drug (3.6 mg s.c.) was administered fortnightly for the first 4 doses, and monthly thereafter. Gonadotrophins and estradiol (E2) levels were measured before and at specific times during the treatment. Results Objective responses were observed in 17 of the 38 evaluable patients (45%), six of whom achieved complete remission. The best responses were observed on soft tissues (65%). Castration E2 levels were achieved in all of the patients. Conclusions Our results confirm that goserelin is as effective as surgical oophorectomy in premenopausal advanced breast cancer.
