    Notes: Two hundred and seventy-seven consecutive patients with T3b-T4 breast cancer referred to the Milan Cancer Institute between 1973 and 1980 were treated with a combined modality approach. Chemotherapy (CT) consisted of AV, i.e. adriamycin (60–75 mg/m2 day 1) and vincristine (1·2 mg/m2 days 1 and 8) and was given for three to four cycles prior to local regional modality. Local-regional treatment consisted of either radiotherapy (RT) in 198 patients or surgery (S) in 79 women. Additional chemotherapy was then administered to a total of 205 patients. In the absence of distant metastases, frequency of good local control was significantly inferior in patients given CT + RT (63·9 per cent) compared to those treated with CT + RT + CT (75·4 per cent) and CT + S + CT (82·3 per cent, P=0·033). Also freedom from progression (FFP) and overall survival (SURV) were significantly superior in the groups receiving more prolonged chemotherapy treatment compared to patients treated with CT + RT (FFP: P·0001; SURV: P=0·002). None of the variables examined was able to affect the response rate, while axillary nodal status and tumor size played a major role in the duration of FFP and SURV. Our findings indicate that a more aggressive treatment is needed to improve current results in this stage of disease. To overcome the problem of local-regional recurrence, treatment should probably begin with cytoreductive surgery followed by postoperative radiotherapy in all patients with the exception of those having inflammatory carcinoma. Systemic treatment should then be delivered to control distant micrometastases.

    Notes: Summary Twenty-six patients with various solid tumors entered a Phase I trial with 4′ -Deoxydoxorubicin (Esorubicin, IMI-58), a new doxorubicin analogue. The drug was administered weekly i.v. for 3–4 weeks. Leukopenia proved to be dose limiting. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was reached at 20 mg/m2 weekly for 3 weeks. For Phase II trials, a weekly dose of 15 and 17.5 mg/m2 can be proposed for poor and good risk patients respectively. Non-hematologic toxicity was minimal. Phase II trials with this new anthracycline are warranted.
