Abstract: In this cohort of older patients with breast cancer, the risk for toxicity from adjuvant chemotherapy depended more on the type of regimen (anthracycline vs. CMF) than the patient's chronological age.

“…Previously published reports indicated that the type of chemotherapy regimen was a better predictor for toxicity than increased age or comorbidity score [34,35]. In our study, hazard ratios for developing bone marrow toxicity or a failure were considerably higher for women receiving CAF or platinum/taxane regimens (after adjusting for comorbidities).…”

“…All presented Relative Excess Risks (RERs) are adjusted for age at diagnosis, oestrogen-receptor/progesteron-receptor (ER/PR) status, morphology, grade and number of metastatic sites. [19][20][21]. This requires good selection of patients for specific treatments [18].…”

“…Il faut cependant rester prudent sur les conclusions car à toxicité hé matologique é quivalente, la dose administré e de doxorubicine é tait plus basse dans le groupe le plus â gé [58] et ces donné es dé rivent d'é tudes de phase II avec les biais mé thodologiques classiques (exclusion des sujets avec des comorbidité s). En comparaison du CMF, l'incorporation d'anthracyclines (± taxan e s ) à une chimiothé rapie adjuvante reste dé terminante sur la survenue d'une toxicité de grade 3 ou 4, d'une hospitalisation ou d'une neutropé nie fé brile dans la sé rie du Memorial SloanKettering [34]. En ce qui concerne la qualité de vie, une é tude canadienne a montré que les fonctions physiques et sociales perturbé es chez les sujets â gé s sous chimiothé rapie adjuvante combinant 5-fluorouracile, doxorubicine et cyclophosphamide (500, 50 et 500 mg/m 2 respectivement) ré cupé raient rapidement au dé cours, voire avec un meilleur maintien de certaines fonctions que chez les femmes plus jeunes [61].…”
