    Abstract:
    As complete as possible a picture of the current state of cytostatic chemotherapy in the treatment of metastatic breast carcinoma is offered. Attention is therefore mainly concentrated on application modalities of this form of therapy in relation to the clinical stage of the disease and to the use of other treatment possibilities. Methods and results of cytostatic therapy are then considered. The present situation is reviewed and the pharmacological and toxic aspects of prolonged antiblastic treatment are assessed. After outlining a number of special problems relating to the treatment of CNS and pleural metastases, the personal series is presented and results, which do not differ from other reported series, reported. In conclusion, stress is laid on the importance and effectiveness of cytostatic therapy in the treatment of metastatic breast carcinoma, but extended, controlled studies are also recommended.
