    Notes: Summary We analyzed the results of clinical studies on the therapeutic efficacy of hormone monotherapy with tamoxifen, medroxyprogesterone acetate, and aminoglutethimide in metastatic breast cancer, which were published between 1971 and 1986 and involved altogether 7000 patients. The overall response rates in patients treated with these hormonal single agents at various dose levels ranged from 31%–42%. When only estrogen receptor-positive patients were considered, the response rates lay between 41% and 54% in groups which were treated with the antiestrogenic agents tamoxifen or aminoglutethimide. The duration of remission was 12 months for tamoxifen- and aminoglutethimide-treated women, whereas medroxy-progesterone acetate effected remissions lasting from 6–16 months. The overall mean survival from start of therapy in tamoxifen- and aminoglutethimide-treated groups was 20 months, whereas information concerning this therapeutic parameter was available only in a minority of medroxyprogesterone acetate-treated groups. With respect to the response by site of metastatic lesions, all three agents caused a significantly higher degree of remissions in the soft tissue as compared to visceral disease.

    Notes: Summary The results of clinical studies dealing with first and second line chemotherapy of metastatic breast cancer published between 1975 and early 1986 which involved 9350 women were reviewed. Our special aim was to evaluate combination chemotherapy and its influence on overall survival in late stage breast cancer patients. No significant improvement in overall survival times was found in this selected group of patients who were treated with intense palliative chemotherapy.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary After injection of 15 mg/kg ethylnitrosourea (ENU) weekly for 15 weeks to adult male Wistar rats (total dose: 225 mg/kg) about 10% of the animals developed myeloid leukemias (chloroleukemias), which resemble the chronic myeloid leukemia in man (CML) (peripheral blood picture, tissue infiltration, chronic course as compared to immature-cell rat leukemias). Monotherapy with busulfan effected no remissions. The median survival time after daily treatment with busulfan was 29.5 days (range: 7–70); it was significantly shorter than that of untreated controls (median: 47.5 days, range: 22–81). After weekly application of 20 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg Cyclophosphamide the median survival time increase to 69.5 (range: 26–114) and 61.5 (range: 20–92) days, respectively. Rate and duration of remissions after repeated weekly single doses of cyclophosphamide were positively correlated with the increase in single dose; the high dose-intermittent treatment with 50 mg/kg CPA/week yielded complete remissions in all treated animals. Despite these remissions, however, no significant increase in survival time could be observed in comparison with untreated controls. The comparability of autochthonous chloroleukemias in the rat with human CML is discussed.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Nach wöchentlicher Injektion von 15 mg/kg Äthylnitrosoharnstoffüber 15 Wochen in erwachsene männliche Wistar Ratten (Gesamtdosis: 225 mg/kg) entwickelten etwa 10% der Tiere Chloroleukämien, die eine auffallende Ähnlichkeit mit der chronischen myeloischen Leukämie (CML) des Menschen haben (peripheres Blutbild, Gewebsinfiltration, chronischer Verlauf beim Vergleich mit unreifzelligen Rattenleukämien). Eine Monotherapie mit Busulfan bewirkte keine Remissionen. Nach täglicher Behandlung mit Busulfan lag die mediane Überlebenszeit bei 29,5 Tagen (Spanne: 7–70 Tage) und war somit kürzer als die der unbehandelten Kontrolltiere (mediane Überlebenszeit: 47,5 Tage; Spanne: 22–81 Tage). Nach wöchentlicher Behandlung mit 20 mg/kg sowie mit 50 mg/kg Cyclophosphamid (CPA) stieg die mediane Überlebenszeit auf 69,5 (Spanne: 26–114) bzw. 61,5 (Spanne: 20–92) Tage an. Die Remissionsrate und die Remissionsdauer nach wöchentlich wiederholten Einzeldosen von Cyclophosphamid zeigten eine positive Korrelation zur Höhe der Einzeldosis; so bewirkte eine intermittierende Behandlung mit 50 mg/kg CPA/Woche bei allen behandelten Ratten eine komplette Remission. Trotz der Remissionen konnte jedoch kein signifikanter Anstieg der Überlebenszeit beim Vergleich mit den unbehandelten Kontrollen beobachtet werden. Die Vergleichbarkeit der autochthonen Chloroleukämie der Ratte mit der CML des Menschen wird diskutiert.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Der Effekt einer klinisch wirksamen Substanzkombination (Vincristin, Adriamycin, Cytosin-Arabinosid) gegenüber einer transplantierten akuten Rattenleukämie (L 5222) und gegenüber autochthonen akuten Rattenleukämien wird in einem nichttoxischen Dosisbereich verglichen. Die Ratten mit transplantierter Leukämie verstarben nach vier, ohne Unterbrechung gegebenen Therapiecyclen; Remissionen wurden nicht erreicht. Die gleiche Behandlung, die zusätzlich durch einwöchige therapiefreie Intervalle unterbrochen werden konnte, bewirkte bei allen Ratten mit autochthoner Leukämie eine komplette Remission. Das unterschiedliche Ansprechen beider Leukämieformen auf die Therapie wird in erster Linie auf Unterschiede in der Kinetik zurückgeführt. Die Vergleichbarkeit transplantierter und autochthoner Rattenleukämien mit der akuten Leukämie des Menschen wird diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary The effect of a clinically active drug combination (vincristine, adriamycin, cytosine arabinoside) against (1) a transplanted acute rat leukemia (L 5222) and (2) autochthonous acute rat leukemias is compared in a non-toxic dose range. After four therapy cycles without therapy-free intervals, the animals with transplanted leukemia died; remissions were not achieved. In all rats with autochthonous leukemia the same treatment that was additionally interrupted by therapy-free intervals of 1 week caused complete remissions. The different reactions of both leukemia types to this treatment are mainly due to their kinetic differences. The comparability of transplanted and autochthonous rat leukemias with human acute leukemia is discussed.
