Overview

This combination chemotherapy regimen, consisting of doxorubicin, paclitaxel, and cyclophosphamide, was investigated by the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center for the treatment of metastatic or recurrent breast cancer. The regimen utilizes a dose-intense schedule, which involves administering higher doses of cytotoxic agents over a compressed timeframe to overcome drug resistance and maximize tumor cell kill. Because of the significant myelosuppression associated with these doses, the protocol includes supportive care with filgrastim (G-CSF) and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) to facilitate hematologic recovery. Doxorubicin acts as an anthracycline that inhibits topoisomerase II and intercalates DNA; paclitaxel is a taxane that stabilizes microtubules to induce mitotic arrest; and cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent that causes DNA cross-linking.
