Metronomic Chemotherapy for Metastatic Breast Cancer

The present study demonstrates that metronomic docetaxel–capecitabine chemotherapy with daily celecoxib can produce significant anticancer activity, with predictable toxicity. Efficacy fell short of expectations, with outcome measures being similar to those obtained when the study agents are given in conventional dosing. Furthermore, there is mounting evidence to indicate that a low dose of tax...

Despite the incidence for women older than 70 years being 33%, they are usually excluded from screening schedules and clinical trials. Furthermore, about 15% of breast cancers in older patients are of the triple-negative subtype (TNBC), which is known to be an aggressive histological subtype with very limited treatment options available, and associated with a very poor prognosis [1]. Indeed, th...
