NCT00049660

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known if capecitabine is more effective than vinorelbine in treating metastatic breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II/III trial to compare the effectiveness of capecitabine with that of vinorelbine in treating women who have metastatic breast cancer that has been previously treated with chemotherapy.
