Neoadjuvant Biweekly Treatment Followed by Weekly Treatment of Breast Cancer
NaSingle-groupOpen-labelTreatment
Summary
We proposed to use 4 cycles of AC q 2 weeks, as used in the dose dense adjuvant study with GM-CSF support on days 3-9 of the cycle. After the completion of AC we plan to administer paclitaxel and carboplatin weekly for a total of 12 doses with one week rest after every 3 weeks of treatment over 12 weeks. Patients who are her-2 over-expressors by FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) will also receive Trastuzumab with weekly carboplatin and paclitaxel as the combination TC±H has been found to be synergistic in advanced breast cancer with improved clinical outcome.
