X-tending the horizons of Xeloda into early breast cancer (BC) Wolfgang Janni Ludwig Maximilians University of MunichMunich, Germany
Rationale for integrating Xeloda into the treatment of early BC • High single-agent efficacy in metastatic BC • Favorable safety profile, with minimal myelosuppression and alopecia • Highly active in combination regimens • Xeloda extends overall survival when combined with Taxotere1 • logical partner to build upon the improved outcomes achieved with taxanes in early BC treatment2,3 1O’Shaughnessy J et al.

Xeloda: potential to improve outcomes in early breast cancer • The extensive multinational clinical trial program is confirming the potential of Xeloda to improve outcomes in early BC • pre-operative XT improves pCR rate compared with AC1 • Results of ongoing trials evaluating Xeloda as adjuvant and primary systemic therapy are eagerly awaited 1Ro J et al.
