5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and effect on quality of life of weekly paclitaxel plus bevacizumab as first line treatment in elderly patients (≥ 70 years old) with metastatic breast cancer. Furthermore, the efficacy of the combination therapy will be correlated with the functional status of patients according to the comprehensive geriatric assessment.
Detailed Description
Elderly individuals make up a large part of the breast cancer population. Older women are more likely than younger women to be diagnosed at a more advanced stage of breast cancer. However, when treated with chemotherapy for metastatic disease they derive similar benefits to their younger counterparts. Preference should be given to chemotherapeutic drugs with safer profiles regimens, such as weekly taxane, according to the SIOG recommendations. Recently, initial therapy of metastatic breast cancer with paclitaxel plus bevacizumab demonstrated prolonged progression-free survival, as compared with paclitaxel alone
