Samenvatting

Purpose: Adjuvant 'classical' oral cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil (CMF) has long been the mainstay of adjuvant chemotherapy for premenopausal breast cancer patients. The Comprehensive Cancer Center North Netherlands (CCCN) breast cancer working group performed a retrospective audit of treatment guideline adherence and quality of CMF in hospitals in the CCCN area. Methods: The CMF treatment data of 251 consecutive axillary lymph node-positive breast cancer patients 3 patients/year (P=0.014) were treated by one specialist or >10 patients classified for adjuvant chemotherapy yearly in a hospital (P=0.037). Conclusion: The adherence to CMF treatment guidelines was generally good. Simultaneous radiotherapy did not affect the median RDI of CMF. G-CSF had no impact on the median RDI but patient volume did influence the RDI.
