Results in palliative treatment of advanced breast cancer with a new androgen, calusterone, are discussed. Sixty post-menopausal patients with metastatic breast carcinoma were treated with 200 mg per day at least three months. The overall response was 28% (17/60); better results seemed to be achieved in advanced post-menopausal patients with osseous and cutaneous lesions. These results agree with those reported by the Cooperative Breast Cancer Group. No undesirable side-effects were observed and calusterone was well tolerated.
