Abstract:
Objective To investigate the efficacy and adverse effect of herceptin combined with docetaxel in patients with localized advanced breast cancer. Methods 16 patients with localized advanced breast cancer were treated with herceptin (8 mg/kg in the first cycle and 6 mg/kg from 2 to 4 cycles,d1) and docetaxel (75 mg/m2 ,d2) for 4 cycles. Three weeks were taken as a cycle. Following chemotherapy, the patients underwent improved radical operation of breast cancer or radical operation of preserving breast. Results The overall response rate (oRR) was 87.5%. The complete clinical remission rate (cCR) was 56. 3%. The complete pathologic remission rate (pCR) was 25.0%. The mainly adverse effects were bone marrow depression and gastrointestinal toxicity. Conclusion The regimen of herceptin combined with docetaxel is effective and can be well-tolerated by patients with localized advanced breast cancer. It shows promising prospect in clinical application.
