Abstrakt: Forty-two women with measurable or evaluable advanced breast cancer who had received neither prior chemotherapy for advanced disease nor any anthracycline-containing regimen as adjuvant were entered in a phase II study of mitoxantrone (Novantrone®; dihydroxyanthracenedione). Patients were aged from 36 to 80 years, performance status was from 0 to 2. All patients had normal hematological status and normal renal and liver function tests. Cardiac scintigraphy and sonography techniques were used to monitor cardiac function. Mitoxantrone was administered at a dose of 14 mg/m2 in 100 ml 5% dextrose solution over 30 minutes, repeated every three weeks.
