“…Both mortality data and, more recently, reliable morbidity data have provided us with reasonably accurate information on the frequency of carcinoma of the breast. The crude incidence rate of cancer of the breast in women far exceeds that for any other type found in either sex (63). Our present statistics on breast cancer are based on findings cited in the Fourth Comprehensive Report issued in 1972 by the End Results Group, End Results Section, Biometry Branch, National Cancer Institute (17, 18, 25, 33, 34).…”

The crude incidence rate for cancer of the breast far exceeds that for any other type of cancer found in either sex. In women it is nearly twice the rate for the next most common malignant disease found in both men and women. The percentage of patients with localized disease has gradually increased but now is approaching a plateau. There is a definite increase in the incidence of breast cancer is premenopausal women which counterbalances the better results with reference to age-specific death rates. The absolute survival rate indicates that mortality rates continue to be "above normal" for a considerable period beyond the five-year point. It is important, therefore, to study the challenge which confronts us, to keep in mind the natural history of the disease, to review the known high-risk factors and tumor-host relationships, and to evaluate continually all available diagnostic and therapeutic measures. These measures include those not used in routine practice, and especially those involving new concepts.

Twenty-three patients with disseminated carcinoma of the breast were treated with a combination chemotherapy protocol employing cyclophosphamide, vincristine sulfate, methotrexate, fluorouracil, and prednisone. Ten of these patients had at least a partial response (greater than 50% reduction in tumor mass), a rate not dissimilar to the employment of single agents. However, of particular significance is the fact that four of the responses were complete remissions. This is a unique occurrence, since in a review of 1,590 patients treated with single agents only a single complete response is cited. Response did not seem to be related to prior therapy and did appear to correlate with increased survival. Toxic reaction was generally mild and readily reversible. Virtually all patients were treated and managed on an outpatient basis.Carci noma of the breast, by vir¬ tue of incidence and mortality, is the single most significant neoplastic disease occurring in women in the United States. The magnitude of this entity, which by itself accounts for 25% of all carcinomas in women and produces roughly 67,000 new cases per year, is most cogently underscored by
