| Abstract: | We evaluated therapy with weekly paclitaxel 80  mg/m2 in metastatic breast cancer patients age  65. There was a low incidence of serious toxicities, with similar tolerability profiles in younger and older patients. Response rates and overall survival times were comparable in the two age groups (<65 and 65). Weekly paclitaxel therapy is a reasonable option for older patients with metastatic breast cancer. |
