Feasibility Study of Metronomic Chemotherapy for Locally Advanced HER2-Negative Breast Cancer

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine whether weekly paclitaxel followed by weekly doxorubicin plus daily oral cyclophosphamide without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is feasible in the treatment of locally advanced HER2-negative breast cancer.
