High-Dose Chemo Provides Little Benefit to Breast Cancer Patients

healthcentral.com: "High-dose chemotherapy has only a minimal effect on survival in breast cancer patients with node-positive disease, new research shows.
'It's pretty clearly established that [high-dose chemotherapy] is a false hope,' said study author Donald Berry, head of the Division of Quantitative Sciences at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. 'There's a disease-free survival benefit but not much of a survival benefit. There may be a subset which would benefit, but we looked and couldn't find it.'"
