6xFU/Epirubicin/Cyclophosphamide (FEC) Compared to 3xFEC-3xDocetaxel in High-risk Node-negative Breast Cancer Patients
Summary
In low-risk node-negative breast cancer patients adjuvant chemotherapy should be spared. The identification of this subgroup can be based either on clinical and pathological or on tumour-biological criteria. Due to their high prognostic impact, the tumour-biological invasion markers uPA/PAI-1 (urokinase-type plasminogen activator and its inhibitor PAI-1) are potential candidates to effectively assess the risk of relapse in node-negative breast cancer. This study is aimed to compare the risk assessment by the traditional clinico-pathological factors and by tumour-biological factors. The second study question refers to the comparison between an adjuvant combination treatment with FE100C\*6 and a sequential treatment with FE100C\*3 and Docetaxel\*3.
