    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.

    Chemotherapeutic studies on N-nitrosoacetoxymethyl-methylamine-and 1,2-dimethylhydrazine-induced colonic tumors in rats: Monotherapy with 5-fluorouracil, ftorafur, CGP 6809, and CGP 15'720A (1982)

    Notes: Summary Colonic tumors were induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by ten applications of 2 mg/kg/week N-nitrosoacetoxymethyl-methylamine (AMMN) or by three applications of 100 mg/kg/month 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (1,2-DMH). Application of AMMN and 1,2-DMH induced selective colonic tumors in 97% and 29–42% of the initial animals, respectively. Colonic-tumor-bearing animals were subjected to monotherapy with 5-fluorouracil, ftorafur, CGP 6809, and CGP 15'720A. No cures were achieved. The different therapies did not exert any clear influence on the survival time of animals, except for animals pretreated with AMMN and then subjected to ftorafur therapy.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Hyperthermie zur Behandlung von Tumoren wird seit längerem in In-vitro- und In-vivo-Versuchen und auch in der Klinik in verschiedenen Anwendungsformen erprobt. Bei der Kombination von Hyperthermie mit Chemotherapie wird eine überadditive cytostatische Wirkung beschrieben. In einem klinisch orientierten, kontrolliert durchgeführten Tierversuch wurde an einem durch N-Nitrosoacetoxymethylmethylamin (AMMN) induzierten autochthonen Coloncarcinom bei Sprague-Dawley-Ratten eine lokale, moderate Hyperthermie (43,5°C, 3 × 60 min) und eine Kombinationsbehandlung von Hyperthermie und Polychemotherapie (BCNU und Ftorafur) durchgeführt unter endoskopischer Diagnosestellung und Verlaufskontrolle. Es konnte keine Überlebenszeitverlängerung durch die angewendeten Therapien und keine additive Wirkung der lokalen moderaten Hyperthermie in Kombination mit der Chemotherapie bei diesem „harten”, d. h. relativ chemotherapieresistenten, Tumormodell gesehen werden.
    Notes: Summary The use of hyperthermia for the treatment of tumors has been tested in in vitro and in vivo experiments as well as clinically for a long time. Combination of hyperthermia with chemotherapy was reported to result in overadditive cytostatic effects. In a clinically adapted, controlled animal experiment, local moderate hyperthermia (43.5°C, 3 × 60 min) alone and in combination with polychemotherapy (BCNU and Ftorafur) was used for the treatment of AMMN-(N-nitrosoacetoxymethyl-methylamine) induced autochthonous colonic carcinomas in Sprague-Dawley rats. Diagnosis and follow-up inspections were carried out endoscopically. The applied therapies did not result in prolonged survival times, nor was an additive effect seen after combined hyperthermia and chemotherapy in this “hard”, i. e. relatively chemotherapy-resistent, tumor model.
