About

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects (good and bad) a combination of cytoxan, epirubicin, and capecitabine have on women with Stage II/II/IIIA breast cancer.

Full description

  • Each treatment cycle lasts 21 days and patients will participate in a least 4 cycles, but no more than 6 cycles of treatment.
  • Patients will receive cytoxan (cyclophosphamide) and epirubicin intravenously on day 1 of each treatment cycle. On days 4-17 of each cycle, patients will take capecitabine orally twice a day.
  • While on the study patients will be required to complete a diary of they capecitabine treatment.
  • Blood tests will be performed each week along with surveys at the beginning of the trial and certain follow-up visits to evaluate the patient's experience with the oral chemotherapy.
  • Patients will be on the treatment for 12-18 weeks depending upon whether or not the disease progresses or the patient develops inacceptable side effects.
