One single course of i.v. cyclophosphamide (30 mg/kg) was given over a 6-day period to 559 mastectomized patients. During a follow-up period of up to 15 years, 241 recurrence and 234 deaths are registered in this group, and 294 recurrences and 283 deaths in the randomized control group of 577 patients.
