• Chemo During Pregnancy Appears Safe for Mother and Child

  Published on August 21, 2012 at 12:00 am

  • Tags: Abraxane (chemical name: paclitaxel), Adriamycin (chemical name: doxorubicin), Cytoxan (chemical name: cyclophosphamide), Ellence (chemical name: epirubicin), fluorouracil (also called 5-fluorouracil or 5-FU; brand name: Adrucil), Taxol (chemical name: paclitaxel), Taxotere (chemical name: docetaxel), Standard, Pregnancy, Anthracyclines, and Taxanes

  A study supports other research that suggests chemotherapy during pregnancy doesn't have harmful effects on the baby.

• Taxotere Better Than Fluorouracil in Chemo Regimen After Surgery for Early-Stage Disease

  Published on December 1, 2010 at 12:00 am

  • Tags: Adriamycin (chemical name: doxorubicin), Cytoxan (chemical name: cyclophosphamide), fluorouracil (also called 5-fluorouracil or 5-FU; brand name: Adrucil), Taxotere (chemical name: docetaxel), and Standard

  Chemotherapy that included Taxotere offered slightly better results than a regimen that included 5-FU for women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer that hadn't spread to the lymph nodes, but Taxotere was more likely to cause serious side effects.

• Adding Taxotere to Standard Chemo Doesn’t Seem to Help Treat Early-Stage Breast Cancer

  Published on May 15, 2009 at 12:00 am

  • Tags: Cytoxan (chemical name: cyclophosphamide), Ellence (chemical name: epirubicin), fluorouracil (also called 5-fluorouracil or 5-FU; brand name: Adrucil), Taxotere (chemical name: docetaxel), and Standard

  Taxotere doesn't seem to offer any benefits in treating early-stage breast cancer and also causes more serious side effects.

• Older Women Do Better on Conventional Chemo Compared to Xeloda

  Published on May 13, 2009 at 12:00 am

  • Tags: Adriamycin (chemical name: doxorubicin), Cytoxan (chemical name: cyclophosphamide), fluorouracil (also called 5-fluorouracil or 5-FU; brand name: Adrucil), Xeloda (chemical name: capecitabine), and Standard

  Research shows that women older than 65 do better on standard intravenous chemotherapy after surgery to remove early-stage breast cancer than Xeloda (chemical name: capecitabine), an oral chemotherapy.

• Taxol Added to Chemo Combination Improved Survival of Women Diagnosed with Early-Stage Breast Cancer

  Published on May 30, 2008 at 12:00 am

  • Tags: Cytoxan (chemical name: cyclophosphamide), Ellence (chemical name: epirubicin), fluorouracil (also called 5-fluorouracil or 5-FU; brand name: Adrucil), Taxol (chemical name: paclitaxel), and Standard

  After surgery to treat early-stage breast cancer, women who got Taxol after the FEC (fluorouracil, Ellence, Cytoxan) chemotherapy combination were more likely to be alive and cancer-free 5 years after diagnosis than women who got only FEC.
