The therapeutic effects of Herceptin combined with Taxol on the Her-2/neu overexpressing metastatic human breast cancer
Abstract Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects and toxicity of recombinant humanized anti-Her-2/neu antibody (Herceptin) and taxol for treatment of Her-2/neu overexpressing metastatic human breast cancer. Methods 60 patients with metastatic human breast cancer were involved in this study. 22 patients were treated with Herceptin and Taxol. The other 38 patients were treated with Taxol and doxorubicin. Results The total response rate (RR) of Herceptin and Taxol was 68.2% higher than that of Taxol and doxorubicin (44.7%). The RR of patients with Her-2/neu(+++) was 75%, while the RR of the patients with Her-2/neu(++) was 50%. The major adverse effects were gastro-intestinal tract reactions, myopathy, bone marrow suppression and alopecia. Conclusion The treatment of Herceptin and Taxol is effective and safe for patients with Her-2/neu over expressing metastatic human breast cancer. The therapeutic effect is intimately linked to Her-2/neu expressing of breast cancer.
