Cancer Clin Trials. 1980 Summer;3(2):115-20.
A phase II trial of detorubicin (DTR) has been conducted on 164 patinets with solid tumors. Regressions greater than or equal to 50% were obtained in 23% of breast carcinoma patients, in 17% of head and neck carcinoma patients and of melanoma patients, and in 6% of ureri cervic carcinoma patients. DTR seems as toxic as adriamycin on bone marrow and the heart and might induce a little less alopecia.
