Epirubicin-Paclitaxel-Cyclophosphamide Methotrexate Fluorouracil (E-T-CMF) versus Epirubicin-Cyclophosphamide Methotrexate Fluorouracil (E-CMF) as adjuvant chemotherapy in high risk patients with operable breast cancer. A phase III study conducted by the Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group (HE10/97)
High-risk patients with operable breast cancer treated with Epirubicin followed by Paclitaxel followed by Cyclophosphamide-Methotrexate-Fluorouracil (E-T-CMF) or Epirubicin followed by Cyclophosphamide-Methotrexate-Fluorouracil (E-CMF) as adjuvant chemotherapy to investigate the effect of the treatment on disease-free survival and overall survival.

Summary
The aim of this phase III, randomized study was to explore the effect of dose-dense sequential chemotherapy with or without paclitaxel primarily on disease-free survival (DFS) and secondarily on overall survival (OS) in patients with high-risk operable breast cancer. Acute toxicity and quality of life were also investigated. Translational research studies were also performed.
