Abstract

The efficacy and tolerability of gemcitabine were studied in 15 patients with anthracycline- and taxane- pretreated metastatic breast cancer. Gemcitabine was administered as a 30-minute intravenous 1000 mg/m2 infusion once a week for 3 weeks followed by a 1-week rest every 4 weeks. The mean number of completed cycles was 4 (range: 1-12). The overall response rate (ORR) was 7% with a median duration response of 12 months. Median time to progression was 5 months (%95 CI: 3,56-6,44). Median duration of survival was 20 months (%95 CI: 11,70-40,30). Gemcitabine was well tolerated in previously pretreated metastatic breast cancer. In view of its toxicity profile, and its novel mechanism of action, gemcitabine warrants further evaluation in breast cancer patients, both as a single agent and in combination treatment schedules.

Özet

Daha önceden antrasiklin ve taksan tedavisi almış metastatik meme kanserli 15 hastada gemsitabinin etkinliği ve tolerasyonu araştırılmıştır. Gemsitabin, 3 hafta haftada bir 1000 mg/m2 uygulamayı takiben bir hafta dinlenme olacak şekilde 4 haftada bir 30 dakikalık intravenöz infüzyon ile uygulanmıştır. Medyan tamamlanmış siklus sayısı 4 idi (aralık: 1-12). Yanıt oranı %7 ve medyan yanıt süresi 12 aydı. Medyan progresyonsuz sağkalım (PS) süresi 5 aydı (%95 CI: 3,56-6,44). Medyan genel sağkalım (GS) süresi 20 aydı (%95 CI: 11,70-40,30). Gemsitabin, daha önceden tedavi almış metastatik meme kanserli hastalarda oldukça iyi tolere edilmişti. Gemsitabin, farklı etki mekanizması ve toksisite profili ile meme kanseri tedavisinde etkin bir ajandır. Gemsitabin’in meme kanseri tedavisinde tek ajan veya kombinasyon şeklinde kullanımı konusunda daha ileri araştırmalar yapılması gerekmektedir.
