Taxol brings hope
to cancer patients
SEATTLE (AI*) — Taxol,
thought to bo a powerful new
cancer drug, will be made
available for selected ovarian
cancer patients at tho Universi
ty of Washington and 38 other
sites across the country, a Na
tional Cancer Institute official
said.
Dr. Michael Hawkins, chief
of investigational drugs at NCI
in Washington, DC., said Tues
day there is enough taxol to
treat about 500 patients, though
he warned that number is
"highly variable" because some
patients will use more of the
drug than others.
NCI, which controls the
drug's distribution, will send
doses to 39 hospitals that have
boon designed by the agency as
Clinical or Comprehensive
Cancer Centers
The drug will come to the
University of Washington Med
ical Center in Seattle under an
agreement reached with the
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Re
search Center, which has con
ducted taxol research. Taxol
will be made available at the
university to eligible ovarian
cancer patients in Washington,
Oregon, Idaho, Montana and
Alaska.
Hawkins said the drug's use
will be limited to patients
whose ovarian cancers have re
sisted successful treatment by
more traditional drugs. Most of
such patients, he said, will
probably be in tho final stages
of tho disease.
“in this group of patients, the
most you can hope is to delay
the growth of the tumors," he
said.
Taxol was discovered by NCI
researchers. It's an uxtract from
the bark of the Pacific yew, a
tree that grows in forests In the
Northwest Harvesting the bark
for the drug kills tho slow
growing tree Estimates of tho
number of trees available range
farm 13 million to 130 million,
and it takes several such trees
to make enough taxol for one
patient.
Clinical studios have shown
taxol will shrink tumors in
about a third of ovarian cancer
patients and up to about half of
womun with advanced breast
cancer.
The announcement was wel
comed by the family of ovarian
cancer patient Charlotte Didier,
who has undergone chemother
apy and surgery with no suc
cess and has waged a public
campaign to make the drug
available in the Northwest.
"I'm ecstatic about it. It can't
lie any too soon.” said her hus
band Frank Didier.
“Taxol is Charlotte's last re
sort. Having access to it is what
we've been striving for," he
said. "Hopefully, it's not too
late for Charlotte, and will help
others, too.”
