Abstract

Seventy-four post-menopausal women with metastatic breast cancer were treated with a combination hormonal regimen consisting of tamoxifen, aminoglutethimide danazol and medroxyprogesterone acetate (POND). 72% of the patients had received no previous treatment. The overall response rate (complete and partial remission) was 43.5% with a median response duration of 19 months and a median survival of 27 months. The most common sites of response were in regional nodes and local chest wall disease. The major side-effects were those expected from the individual agents: nausea, lethargy, rash and oedema.
