This required increasing quantities of purified taxol, up to 600 g (21 oz), and in 1977 a further request for 7,000 lb (3,200 kg) of bark was made. In 1978, two NCI researchers published a report showing that taxol was mildly effective in leukaemic mice. [63] In November 1978, taxol was shown to be effective in xenograft studies. [64]

[10] In women with operable early breast cancer, taxane-containing adjuvant chemotherapy regimens have been found to improve overall survival and disease-free survival. [11]

In conventional chemotherapy, a dose close to the maximum tolerated dose is administered in a bolus manner to achieve cytotoxic effects on tumor cells. [5] However, the side effects are often significant as the cytotoxic agents also kill the fast-dividing cells normally present in the body, such as bone marrow cells and epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract.
