Navelbine VS Gemzar
Which drug is supposed to be the 'stronger' chemo?
I would assume that A/C is stronger than the taxane family based on only one fact: nobody could take Adriamycin beyond the maximum amount in a lifetime -- I believe that tne taxane group could be repeated (as long as a break(s) in between was a reasonable timeframe).
Thanks.
