Paclitaxol Every 2 Week Versus Paclitaxol Every 1 Week in the Adjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer

• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 2020-12-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

RATIONALE: Adjuvant chemotherapy has been proven to reduce significantly the risk for relapse and death in women with operable breast cancer.In the North American Inter-Group factorial trial design (CALGB 9741) the concept of dosedense adjuvant chemotherapy was further tested in patients with node-positive breast cancer.Weekly paclitaxel after standard adjuvant chemotherapy with epirubicin and cyclophosphamide improves disease-free and overall survival in women with breast cancer.Investigators asked if dose-dense 2-week intertreatment intervals (supported by the use of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor) were better than the conventional inconvenient weekly intervals.
