Background. We report our experience with vinorelbine, a widely used chemotherapeutic, in unselected metastatic breast cancer patients treated in clinical routine. Patients and Methods. The data of all patients with metastatic breast cancer receiving vinorelbine with or without trastuzumab during a six year period were reviewed. Patients received vinorelbine intravenous 25–30 mg/m2 or 60–80 mg/m2 orally in days 1 and 8 of a 21 day cycle. Results. Eighty-seven women were included. Sixty-two patients received vinorelbine alone and 25 patients received vinorelbine in combination with trastuzumab. In 67 patients this was the first line treatment for metastatic disease and in 20 patients it was 2nd or later line of treatment. The median TTP was six months (range: 1–45). The median overall survival was 11.5 months (range: 1–83). Seventy patients were evaluable for response. In patients receiving first line treatment 44.4% had a response while in the second and subsequent lines setting 12.5% of patients responded (P=0.001). Objective response was obtained in 63.6% of patients receiving concomitant trastuzumab and in 25% of patients receiving vinorelbine alone (P=0.0002). Conclusion. This study confirms a high disease control rate. Response rate and TTP were superior in first line treatment compared to subsequent lines.

11515 Background: Historically anthracyclines have been considered the most active agents in metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Docetaxel (TXT) has challenged this belief. Aims: Evaluate response rates, toxicity and time to progression in patients with MBC receiving single agent TXT as first line treatment. Methods: MBC patients received first line single agent treatment according to one of the following schedules: TXT 35 mg/m2 iv weekly for 6 wks q 8 wks (Group 1) or TXT 100 mg/m2 iv day 1 q 3 weeks (Group 2). Adjuvant chemotherapy was FAC (600,50,600) day 1 q 21 days for 6 courses in all cases so treated. Results: Conclusions: It appears that results with single agent TXT obtained in clinical practice are comparable to those reported in Phase II-III trials (Group 1 and Group 2, respectively ) using the same regimens.
