Metastatic Breast Cancer
• 3 – 5% of women present with metastases at
time of diagnosis
• 5 yr survival 5 – 15%
• Therapy targeted at metastatic disease
• Local therapy historically reserved for
palliation for those with local progression of
tumor
Goals of therapy in MBC
• Palliate or delay onset of symptoms
• Improve quality of life
• Prolong life
• ?? Cure
Advanced Breast Cancer Is Treated
Based on the Biology of the Tumor

Chemotherapy for MBC:
Simultaneous or Sequential?
The Issue
• Patients with metastatic breast cancer receive
multiple cytotoxic agents during their clinical
course
• Do combinations of two or more drugs given
simultaneously give better results than each
single agent given until progression and then the
others given sequentially?
Simultaneous vs Sequential Combinations:
Advantages and Disadvantages
•
•
•
•
•
•
Simultaneous
Higher response rate
Higher complete
response rate
Longer time to
progression
Covers multiple
mechanisms of
resistance
Exploits synergistic
interactions
Generates more adverse
events
•
•
•
•
•
Sequential
Avoids additive or
overlapping toxic effects
Simpler scheduling
Lower response rate
Shorter time to
progression

Chemotherapy for MBC:
Simultaneous or Sequential?
Conclusions
• Both simultaneous and sequential administration of
combinations of drugs represent a standard of care for
different clinical situations.
• Research should continue to develop more effective,
potentially curative approaches for MBC
• Simultaneous combinations based on potential synergy
should be explored as new agents are developed
Novel Agents
Ixabepilone: A Novel Antineoplastic Agent
• New antineoplastic class
• Semisynthetic analog of epothilone B
• Specifically designed to overcome
tumor resistance mechanisms
– MRP-1 and P-gp efflux pumps
– b (III) tubulin overexpression
– b tubulin mutations

Conclusions
• Understanding of breast cancer as a molecular
disease is leading to novel therapies
– Improved survival and response rate in early
stage and metastatic breast cancer
• However, newer therapies have led to newer
toxicity issues that require further evaluation as
well as longer follow up
