Nine patients with measurable lesions of locally advanced or recurrent breast cancer have been treated with toremifene 200 mg daily. A response rate of 33% [complete remission (CR) + partial remission (PR)] or 78% [CR + PR + no change (NC)] has been achieved so far. As all our patients had previously relapsed on anti-oestrogen therapy (tamoxifen), we postulate that our response rate was achieved by a direct oncolytic effect.
