Popis: 11514 Background: Systemic and local therapy is the standard care in the management of LABC. T, A and C have proven efficacy in BC treatment. DD chemotherapy has shown improvement in clinical outcomes for BC. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of DD therapy with T × 4 followed by AC × 4. Main objective is pathologic complete response rate. Methods: Women with histologic confirmation of LABC, ECOG PS ≤ 2, age ≥ 18 years and adequate bone marrow, renal, hepatic and cardiac functions were included. Treatment: T 100 mg/m2 iv and prophylactic G-CSF, every 2 weeks × 4 cycles followed by A 60 mg/m2 iv and C 600 mg/m2 iv, every 2 weeks × 4 cycles. Response was evaluated every 4 cycles according to RECIST criteria. Results: Ninety-nine patients (pt) were enrolled, with a median age of 50 years (29–80), ECOG PS was 0/1 86.2/13.8%. Breast locations were left 51.5%, right 46.5% and both 2.0%. Forty-three pt (43.4%) presented stage III breast cancer, 83% had infiltrating ductal carcinoma and 50% were pre...
