Current Primary Outcome MeasuresClinical objective and pathological responses to chemotherapy [Time Frame: 8 months] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]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.
Current Secondary Outcome Measures
  • Clinical, radiologic and pathologic correlation [Time Frame: 3 years] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]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] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]The use and security of oncoplastic surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy
  • Overall actuarial survival [Time Frame: 5 years] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]
  • Pathologic complete response [Time Frame: 9 months] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]Pathologic complete response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy

Brief TitleNeoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Locally Advanced Breast Cancer
Official TitleGene Expression Signature and Immunohistochemical Markers Associated With Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Locally Advanced Breast Cancer
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to analyze gene expression signature and immunohistochemical
markers associated with clinical and pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in
locally advanced breast cancer.
Detailed Description
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.
Study TypeObservational
Study PhaseN/A
Study DesignObservational Model: Cohort, Time Perspective: Prospective
ConditionBreast Cancer
InterventionDrug: doxorubicin
4 cycles AC: doxorubicin 60mg/m2
Other Names:

4 cycles AC: cyclophosphamide 600mg/m2
Other Names:

4 cycles T: paclitaxel 175mg/m2 after 4 AC
Other Names:
clinical, radiologic and pathologic responseProcedure: 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:
  • Oncoplastic surgery
  • Mastectomy
Study Arm (s)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)
