Summary

  • Most patients with advanced breast cancer have increased levels of VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) over those with local disease. The VEGF in the cytoplasm of the tumor cells is a predictive factor for overall survival and progression free survival.
  • M. Colleoni et al., reported a study of 64 patients with previous treatment with chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer and indicated that patients who were treated with low doses of methotrexate and cyclophosphamide showed objective responses in 19%, with overall response of 31.7%.
