Clinical Pearls

  • The CALGB 40101 trial looked at patients who had 0-3 positive axillary nodes and 90% of the patients enrolled in the trial had node-negative disease
  • The trial compared standard chemotherapy (adjuvant cyclophosphamide (AC) and doxorubicin) versus paclitaxel. Patients received 6 cycles or 4 cycles of either treatment
  • The trial showed that 6 cycles of therapy was not superior to 4 cycles of therapy in any of the subgroups and that paclitaxel was not equivalent to AC
