Twenty-six patients with breast cancer who had relapsed after previously receiving high-dose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic cell support received a second course of high-dose cytoreductive therapy and autologous hematopoietic cell support as salvage therapy. Several different high-dose therapy regimens were employed for the second transplant, including a radiolabeled immunoconjugate. Two patients died of treatment-related complications. The remaining 24 patients relapsed a median of 126 (range 22-635) days after salvage transplant. All have since died. The median survival after salvage transplant was 362 (range 31-931) days. We conclude that second courses of high-dose therapy as salvage treatment are generally well-tolerated but their efficacy is modest. Alternative treatment strategies are needed for these patients.
