Epirubicin in Treating Women Who Are Undergoing Surgery for Stage I, Stage II, or Stage III Breast Cancer

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer

In brief

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as epirubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving epirubicin before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well epirubicin works in treating women who are undergoing surgery for stage I, stage II, or stage III breast cancer.
