Thirteen postmenopausal women with advanced local or metastatic breast cancer were treated with the antiestrogen toremifene at a daily dose of 200 mg. All patients had failed previous treatment with different types of endocrine therapy and/or cytotoxic drugs. Objective response was only seen in one patient. Treatment was usually well tolerated but in three cases the drug had to be withdrawn due to side effects.
