Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation
may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation
work in treating patients with stage IIIB breast cancer.
