Abstract

Adjuvant chemotherapy of breast cancer is the most significant achievement in therapy of early stages of breast cancer. The positive results grew higher after adding taxans to standart therapy by means of doxorubicine in combination with cyclophosphamide. The same findings were revealed after using trastuzumab (herceptin) for therapy of metastatic forms of breast cancer. The problems of rational chemotherapy, planning of strategy and drugs of choice for breast cancer are discussed in the article.
