Breast Cancer | Drug: doxorubicin Drug: cyclophosphamide Drug: paclitaxel Procedure: Surgery |
Locally advanced breast cancer is a common condition in development countries. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy gives the opportunity to identify genetic signatures associated with objective clinical and pathological complete responses.
Patients will receive doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide with paclitaxel. Tumor samples collected before and after chemotherapy will be analyzed.

Clinical stage III
Women with invasive breast cancer; clinical stage III, condition to receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy based in doxorubicin/ cyclophosphamide and paclitaxel followed by surgery (mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection)
|
Drug: doxorubicin
4 cycles AC: doxorubicin 60mg/m2
Other Name: clinical and radiologic response Drug: cyclophosphamide 4 cycles AC: cyclophosphamide 600mg/m2
Other Name: clinical and radiologic response Drug: paclitaxel 4 cycles T: paclitaxel 175mg/m2 after 4 AC
Other Name: clinical, radiologic and pathologic response Procedure: Surgery The surgery will be performed 30 days after the chemotherapy. The correlation between clinical, radiologic and pathologic response will be reported. The oncoplastic surgery rate will be reported Other Names:
|
- Clinical objective and pathological responses to chemotherapy [ Time Frame: 8 months ]
Clinical and radiological examinations to be performed before chemotherapy, after the 4 cycle of AC and before surgery.
Pathologic evaluation to be performed 30 days after the last cycle of chemotherapy, i.g. after surgery.
- Clinical, radiologic and pathologic correlation [ Time Frame: 3 years ]tumor concordance measurement among pre-operative physical examination (PE), mammography (MG), ultrasound (US), breast MRI and post-operative pathologic measurement concordance with PE, MG, US and MRI
- Surgery [ Time Frame: 5 years ]The use and security of oncoplastic surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy
- Overall actuarial survival [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
- Pathologic complete response [ Time Frame: 9 months ]Pathologic complete response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy
