Abstract

Background: Four cycles of AC have been accepted as the standard chemotherapy in breast cancer. In the present randomized study we aimed to assess the efficacy of adjuvant etoposide + cisplatin (EP) combination following four cycles of standard adriamycin + cyclophosphamide (AC) in premenopausal patients with operable breast cancer and axillary lymph node metastasis.
