Preparations comprising a single enantiomer or defined ratio of enantiomers of alphadifluoromethylornithine (DFMO) are provided for treating, preventing, controlling the growth of and/or reducing the risk of developing estrogen independent breast cancer or tumor. The preparations containing a single DFMO enantiomer or defined nonracemic ratio of DFMO enantiomers will provide an enhanced pharmacological activity relative to a preparation comprising racemic DFMO. Methods for treating a patient having estrogen independent breast cancer, which methods comprise administering DFMO alone or in combination with taxol, are also provided. |
