Jordan U. Gutterman,George R. Blumenschein,Raymond Alexanian,Hwee-Yong Yap,Aman U. Buzdar,Fernando Cabanillas,Gabriel N. Hortobagyi,Evan M. Hersh,Shelley L. Rasmussen,Maurice Harmon,Michael J. Kramer,Sidney Pestka +11 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that leukocyte interferon can induce tumor regression in patients with advanced cancer and will remain on study for 52 to 63 weeks.
Journal Article
Prognostic factors in metastatic breast cancer treated with combination chemotherapy.
Kenneth D. Swenerton,Sewa S. Legha,Terry K. Smith,Gabriel N. Hortobagyi,Edmund A. Gehan,Hwee-Yong Yap,Jordan U. Gutterman,George R. Blumenschein +7 more
TL;DR: An estimate of total extent of disease based on criteria for rating extent of involvement at 12 potential sites was a much more important prognostic factor related to response and survival than actual sites of involvement or the traditional "dominant site" classification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multimodal treatment of locoregionally advanced breast cancer.
Gabriel N. Hortobagyi,George R. Blumenschein,William J. Spanos,Eleanor D. Montague,Aman U Buzdar,Hwee-Yong Yap,Frank C. Schell +6 more
TL;DR: The complete remission rate with this multimodal approach is high and long‐term disease‐free survival is achieved in a considerable number of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meningeal carcinomatosis in breast cancer.
TL;DR: With increasing diagnostic awareness and the employment of several therapeutic strategies, the prognosis of these patients, though poor, was significantly improved over that of historical control patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of high-dose versus standard FAC chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer in protected environment units: a prospective randomized study.
Gabriel N. Hortobagyi,Gerald P. Bodey,Aman U. Buzdar,Debra Frye,Sewa S. Legha,Rajeev Malik,Terri L. Smith,George R. Blumenschein,Hwee-Yong Yap,Victorio Rodriguez +9 more
TL;DR: High-dose induction combination chemotherapy with the agents used in this study failed to increase the response rate or survival duration, and resulted in a substantial increase in toxicity.
