The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of dose-dense(biweekly) carboplatin and paclitaxel ± trastuzumab as neoadjuvant treatment in early breast cancer.
Dose-dense regimens have been shown to improve outcome when given as adjuvant therapy to patients with breast cancer compared with their three weekly counterparts. It is unknown if dose dense neoadjuvant therapy will improve survival in resectable breast cancer. This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dose-dense(biweekly) carboplatin and paclitaxel ± trastuzumab as neoadjuvant treatment in early breast cancer. The endpoint of pathologic complete response is used as a surrogate marker for survival. Safety and tolerability assessed by number of grade 4 toxicities and hospitalizations.
