Seventy-five patients with stage 4 breast cancer were treated with a first-line chemotherapy regimen consisting of cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2, mitoxantrone 12 mg/m2, and vincristine 1.4 mg/m2 (CNV). Objective response was seen in 61/75 (81%) with 17/75 (23%) complete remission (CR). Median duration of response was 38 weeks overall and 51 weeks for patients achieving CR. CNV is an effective regimen for the treatment of advanced breast cancer.
