Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug and giving them after surgery may kill
any remaining tumor cells following surgery. It is not yet known which combination
chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating breast cancer.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of two different combination
chemotherapy regimens in treating women who have primary breast cancer.
