Abstract
Twenty evaluable patients with advanced islet cell carcinoma were treated with doxorubicin at a dosage of 60 mg/m2 every 3-4 weeks. Toxicity was clinically tolerable and characteristic of doxorubicin therapy. Although all patients had previously been treated with other chemotherapy regiments, four (20%) had objective therapeutic responses persisting for 2-301/2 months. Doxorubicin has definite therapeutic activity in islet cell carcinoma and is currently being evaluated in combination chemotherapy regimens.Entities:
