Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The regimen PLD plus cyclophosphamide 4 cycles followed by paclitaxel or docetaxel 4 cycles(noted in phase II CAPRICE) will be used as experimental group. The regimen will be compared to the standard treatment of doxorubicin plus cyclophosphamide(AC) 4 cycles followed by paclitaxel or docetaxel 4 cycles\[noted in National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline\].
