Posted fully in articles of interest but had to share here:

"doxorubicin followed by zoledronic acid
after a 24-hour interval brought breast tumour growth almost completely to
a standstill."

I don't know if her2 is an issue with this. But I love the fact that they say it could be accelerated into use because they are pre-existing drugs. Same in US?

Have never heard of it, but I'm sure it will cross the pond fairly quickly if this trial is successful.

Adriamycin followed by Reclast/Zometa.
Wonder if that is usable by those of us that have already had Adriamycin?
