Dose-Dense Chemotherapy in Early Breast Cancer
To determine whether a dose-dense chemotherapy regimen could improve outcomes in patients with early breast cancer, Venturini et al. (p. 1724) compared outcomes with the same regimen of 5-fluorouracil, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide (FEC) given every 3 weeks (FEC21) or every 2 weeks (FEC14) in a phase III randomized trial. (Patients on FEC14 also received a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.) After a median follow-up of 10.4 years, they found no statistically significant difference in the hazard of death or recurrence between arms. They reported that acute toxicity associated with either treatment was mild and easy
