Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center experience with paclitaxel in the treatment of breast cancer. Review uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Paclitaxel (Taxol; Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Princeton, NJ) is the most important new cytotoxic agent to be introduced for the management of breast cancer in many years. During this decade, investigators at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center have conducted multiple clinical and laboratory investigations aimed at optimally integrating this agent into therapeutic strategies for breast cancer. These studies address both single-agent and combination regimens in the metastatic and adjuvant settings. This report will review previous results, but focus on active studies and future avenues of research.
