Preoperative dose-dense docetaxel and cyclophosphamide alternating with epirubicin and cisplatin(ddDCEP): an effective, novel way of incorporating platinum in the treatment of early TNBC
Abstract:Purpose
Carboplatin-containing treatment regimens in early TNBC have shown improved pCR(pathological complete response) and better EFS(event-free survival) but at the expense of increased toxicity, often leading to compromised delivery of planned treatment. We aimed to evaluate a novel alternating regimen to incorporate platinum in early TNBC.
Methods
We analyzed the data of women with early TNBC who were treated with four cycles each of docetaxel(D;75 mg/m2) and cyclophosphamide(C;600 mg/m2) alternating wit… Show more
