Official title
Prediction of Response or Resistance to Dose Intensified Pre-Operative Epirubicin Therapy of Operable Breast Cancer
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as epirubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving epirubicin before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well epirubicin works in treating women who are undergoing surgery for stage I, stage II, or stage III breast cancer.
