OBJECTIVE
The German Adjuvant Breast Cancer Study Group (GABG) conducts trials of preoperative chemotherapy in patients with primary breast cancer using a combination of doxorubicin and docetaxel (ADoc). -
PATIENTS AND METHODS
We conducted a parallel-grouped phase IIa-study with 42 patients with a conventionally dosed and a dose-dense ADoc-schedule (4 cycles of Doxorubicin 50 mg/m(2), Docetaxel 75 mg/m(2) i. v. day 1, q day 15 or 22; G-CSF day 3-15 only for the dose-dense schedule) and a randomized phase IIb-study (GEPARDO-Study) with 250 patients with ADoc +/- Tamoxifen. Biological factors were determined immunohistochemically on 197 core biopsies before treatment. A comparison to a sequential AC-Doc regimen including 913 patients has been completed recently. -
RESULTS
ADoc can be applicated on schedule in 93 % of all patients. The dose-dense regimen shows a tendency to more toxicity but also to more efficacy. The rate of complete pathological remissions (pCR) was 9.7 %. No difference was found between chemo- and chemoendocrine treatment. Clinically negative lymphnodes and a negative estrogen receptor status is predictive for a higher pCR-rate. To date no differences in toxicity could be found between ADoc and AC-Doc. -
CONCLUSIONS
The dose-dense ADoc regimen is well tolerated and highly effective as preoperative therapy of breast cancer.
