[Chemotherapeutic combinations of mutually potentializing drugs. 1-Application to the treatment of breast cancers].

27 patients suffering from disseminated carcinoma of the breast with at least two visceral metastases, and two had become resistant to conventional chemotherpy and hormones, received a combination of, in the present trial, vincristine followed by cyclophosphamide with 5-fluoro-uracil. Chemotherapy was administered intermittently: each cycle of treatment lasted 6 days and was followed by a period without treatment of 25 days. Haematological tolerance was satisfactory. No serious incidents occurred during two years use of the combination. 20 out of 27 patients showed objective tumour regression of more than 50 p.cent lasting for more than 6 months, whilst 9 showed apparent complete regression of the malignant lesions. There was one complete failure. Chemotherapy was continued in all cases after regression of the neoplastic process was obtained.

[Chemotherapeutic combinations of mutually potentiating drugs. 2-Application to the treatment of bronchial cancers].

16 patients suffering from primary bronchial tumours which had recurred after surgery and/or radiotherapy and with spread involving at least one visceral or lymphatic metastasis received chemotherapy consisting of the administration of vincristine followed by a combination of CCNU and 5-fluorouracil. Each cycle of treatment lasted 6 days and was restarted only after an interval of 30 days on average, this being necessary for haematological recovery. With the doses of CCNU used, thrombocytopaenia occurred only during the fifth cycle of treatment and made it necessary to increase the interval between subsequent courses to five weeks. All of the patients included in the study have now been followed up for between six and eighteen months. Two patients are presently in complete remission without apparent radiological, clinical or bronchoscopic signs. In seven other patients there was tumour regression greater than 50 p.cent persisting for four to six months. In seven, the therapeutic effect was transient or nil.

[Chemotherapeutic combinations of mutually potentiating drugs. 3-Application to primary tumors of the central nervous system].

17 patients suffering from primary tumours of the central nervous system recurring after surgery and/or radiotherapy, received chemotherapy consisting of the administration of VM 26 followed by CCNU. Each cycle of treatment lasted four days and was restarted only after an average interval of 30 days to allow for haematological recovery. All of the patients in the trial have been under treatment for eight months. Five (28 p.cent) are at present in complete remission with no residual clinical, isotopic or radiological signs. In six others there was tumour regression and in four neurological stabilisation. In all those cases where objective tumour regression was obtained functional improvement was noted.
