[A case of inflammatory breast cancer treated with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) in combination with intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy].

A 55-year-old female with severe inflammatory breast cancer was treated with the combined use of MPA and the intraarterial infusion chemotherapy. One cycle consisted of 4'-epi-adriamycin; 210 mg (day 1, 4 and 8) and daily administration of MPA; 1,200 mg. A marked shrinkage of the tumor was obtained with this treatment. The regressive change was noted not only in the primary lesion but in lymph nodes of the axillary region. Therefore, the combined use of MPA with intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy may well contribute to the treatment of inflammatory breast cancer.

[Successful treatment of disseminated breast cancer with combination therapy of 5'-deoxy-5'-fluorouridine (5'-DFUR), medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) and cyclophosphamide (CPA)].

A 54 year-old female patient with disseminated breast cancer refractory to various kinds of previous therapies was treated with a combination therapy of 5'-DFUR, MPA and CPA. Partial response (PR) was obtained both against pleural and liver metastases with complete disappearance (CR) of soft tissue lesions and was still being continued for the following 7 months. No serious side effects were observed except for a mild degree of diarrhea and moon face. The patient was enjoying a favorable quality of life. We confirmed that this combination regimen was effective as the second line treatment for disseminated breast cancer.

[A comparative study with 5'-DFUR alone or in combination with tamoxifen (TAM) or medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) for advanced or recurrent breast cancer].

A comparative study of 5'-DFUR 600 mg/day alone (C-arm) or in combination with TAM 30 mg/day (A-arm) or MPA 600 mg/day (B-arm) was carried out. Thirty-four patients (aged 80 or less) with no prior treatment were evaluable, and the following results were obtained. 1) Patient characteristics were similar in each treatment group and the compliance in all groups was excellent. 2) The group B response rate (70.0%) was considerably higher than that of group A (23.1%) and C (27.3%). 3) In B, the response rates in soft tissues (80.0%) and bone (71.4%) were still good. 4) Mild side effects were encountered in about 15% of each group. We confirmed that combination chemotherapy with a low dose of 5'-DFUR and MPA was effective for first line treatment of metastatic breast cancer.
