ABSTRACT
We report long-term results of high-dose cyclophosphamide, etoposide and carboplatin with ABMT in 20 patients with metastatic breast cancer. Median age of the group was 41 years, ECOG performance status = 0 in 18 patients and 1 in two patients. Twelve patients had received adjuvant chemotherapy. Predominant sites of metastases were lung (eight), chest wall (four), liver (four), bone (three) and lymph nodes (three). Response to pretransplant chemotherapy was complete (CR) in four patients, partial (PR) in 10 patients and stable (SD) in five patients. After high-dose chemotherapy eight patients were in CR, six PR, four SD and one progressive disease. Two patients died of regimen-related toxicities (candidal sepsis and alveolar hemorrhage). With a median follow-up period of 55 months (minimum 48 months), 12 patients have died of recurrent breast cancer, one died of toxicity of salvage chemotherapy, two are alive with disease, two are alive and free of progressive disease. One patient with relapsed disease was lost to follow-up. Median event-free survival is 6 months and median overall survival is 17 months. All three of the long-term disease-free survivors had predominantly nodal disease. Two of these three patients presented with metastatic disease and received high-dose chemotherapy with ABMT as part of initial therapy for breast cancer; two of three attained CR to standard-dose cytoreductive therapy; none received doxorubicin-containing adjuvant chemotherapy.
