One-Third of Patients Discontinue Common Breast Cancer Therapy

PRINCETON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 15, 2007 - An alarming study that appeared in the March 1, 2007 issue of CANCER (a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society), reports that one-third of women taking the standard five-year regimen of the hormonal breast cancer treatment tamoxifen citrate, discontinue therapy early.(1)

According to the authors, non-compliance with tamoxifen tablets is a major issue that may negatively affect treatment efficacy. While tamoxifen tablets remain a standard of care, according to these data, they are associated with compliance and persistency issues. Oncologists need to identify those at risk of non-persistence and develop strategies to combat this barrier to treatment success.

Patients at risk of non-persistence include those who prefer alternative delivery formats to traditional pills/tablets, such as liquid formulations. SOLTAMOX, the only liquid form of tamoxifen citrate, is an alternative for women who require tamoxifen therapy. SOLTAMOX may be an attractive option for women who do not like pills or cannot swallow pills. SOLTAMOX is approved by the FDA and is available in the U.S. through Cytogen Corporation.

WHO:   Linda Vahdat, MD, Weill Cornell Medical Center. Dr. Vahdat is a

        leading breast cancer expert and a participant in the

        Compliance Strategic Initiative -- a program designed to

        increase awareness compliance and to raise awareness

        importance of hormonal therapy in breast cancer.


WHAT:  Dr. Vahdat is available to speak with media regarding the

        importance of tamoxifen compliance and the need to offer

        patients more options.


WHEN:  March 2007


WHERE: Please contact Eliza Schleifstein (973) 387-0342 to set up a

        convenient time to interview Dr. Vahdat.
