Preview- It`s possible to observe, in most clinical trials, high-dose chemotherapy with peripheral blood stem cell support is only used as a post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy for breast (i.e., mamma, or teat) cancer with high risk and as a palliative therapy for metastatic breast cancer. Clinical, having to do with the examination and treatment of patients. Peripheral blood, blood circulating throughout the body. Palliative therapy, treatment given to relieve the symptoms and reduce the suffering caused by cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Palliative cancer therapies are given together with other cancer treatments, from the time of diagnosis, through treatment, survivorship, recurrent or advanced disease, and at the end of life. Breast cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the breast, usually the ducts (tubes that carry milk (i.e., strip, or lac) to the nipple (i.e., papilla mammae, or mammilla)) and lobules (glands that make milk). It occurs in both men and women, although male (i.e., masculine) breast (i.e., mamma masculina, or mamma virilis) cancer is rare. Breast, glandular (i.e., glandulous) organ located on the chest (i.e., pectus). The breast is made up of connective tissue (i.e., interstitial tissue, or supporting tissue), fat, and breast tissue that contains the glands that can make milk. Also called mammary gland (i.e., glandula mammaria, or lactiferous gland). Chemotherapy, treatment with drugs that kill cancer cells. High-dose chemotherapy is an intensive drug treatment to kill cancer cells, but that also destroys the bone marrow and can cause other severe side effects. Bone marrow is the soft, sponge (i.e., spongia)-like tissue in the center of most bones. It produces white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. High-dose chemotherapy is usually followed by bone marrow or stem cell transplantation to rebuild the bone marrow. Metastatic, having to do with metastasis (i.e., secondaries), which is the spread of cancer from the primary site (place where it started) to other places in the body.
- It`s possible to observe, preoperative high-dose chemotherapy with peripheral blood stem cell support as a primary management of locally advanced breast cancer.
- It could seem to be apparant that, high-dose chemotherapy with peripheral blood stem cell support for breast cancer has been developed for over ten years on the basis (i.e., base) of dose-response effects. Response is in medicine, an improvement related to treatment.
