Twenty patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer were treated with four cycles of ifosfamide/mesna 5 g m-2 and epirubicin 60 mg m-2 every 14 days with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF, Filgrastim). Complete remission occurred in six out of the 20 patients (30%, 95% confidence interval 12-54%) and there were 12 partial responders (60%, 95% confidence interval 37-81%), thus giving an overall response rate of 90% (95% confidence interval 63-97%). Two patients had progressive disease. The median duration of response for those patients with metastatic disease was 7.3 (1.3-20.1+) months. The median survival time for these patients was 15 (5.3-27.9+) months. Of the four patients treated with locally advanced disease three achieved a complete clinical response and one a partial response. Three out of four of these patients subsequently underwent a mastectomy, and in one of these no viable tumour was seen. Our conclusion is that this regimen is excellent palliation for metastatic disease and possibly useful neoadjuvant treatment.
