What do you think about a treatment involving Taxotere and a number of drugs, 2 treatments, for mbc with these stats?
31 patients
29 responders (50% reduction)
15 patients developed brain mets

Obviously it's all good up until brain mets are mentioned. It's data that isn't usually included and it shocked me. If the first phase of the tx doesn't show immediate improvement, the treatment is cancelled.
There are a number of ways to look at things and I would like to gather some.
