Figure 1 A 50-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer received seven courses of docetaxel at three-week intervals. After this treatment, the number and sizes of her lung metastases (the only known metastases) were unchanged. Total alopecia developed, but she experienced no nausea or loss of appetite.
