Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, work in different
ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from
dividing. Enalapril maleate may help protect heart cells from the side effects of
chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether giving enalapril maleate before or after
doxorubicin hydrochloride is more effective in treating women with breast cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying giving enalapril maleate together with
doxorubicin hydrochloride to see how well it works in treating women with breast cancer.
