Popis: A randomized study of the effectiveness of treatment with capecitabine (Xeloda) (22) and paclitaxel (taxol) (19) was carried out in breast cancer patients resistant to anthracycline antibiotic drugs. Capecitabine and paclitaxel showed comparable effectiveness, although the former appeared less toxic, particularly, in hematologic complication situations. Therefore, it may be administered to out-patients who previously received several courses of chemotherapy.
