Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
I. To determine the incidence of clinically apparent cardiac dysfunction in patients with lymph node positive breast cancer treated with bevacizumab and dose dense doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel (ddAC \> T).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate changes in LVEF during treatment. II. To evaluate non-cardiac toxicity.
OUTLINE: This is a non-randomized, multicenter study. Patients are sequentially assigned to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
Arm A: Patients receive doxorubicin IV, cyclophosphamide IV over 20-30 minutes, and bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Patients also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously (SQ) on days 2-11 or pegfilgrastim SC on day 2. Treatment repeats every 14 days for 4 courses. Patients then receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours and bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Patients also receive G-CSF or pegfilgrastim as above. Treatment with paclitaxel, bevacizumab, and G-CSF or pegfilgrastim repeats every 14 days for 4 courses. Patients then receive bevacizumab alone every 14 days for up to 18 courses.
Arm B: Patients receive doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and G-CSF or pegfilgrastim as in group I. Patients then receive paclitaxel, bevacizumab, and G-CSF or pegfilgrastim as in group I. Patients then receive bevacizumab alone every 14 days for up to 22 courses.
Treatment in both groups continues in the absence of disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients who require radiotherapy (post-lumpectomy) or who plan radiotherapy at the discretion of the investigator (post-mastectomy) undergo radiotherapy beginning within 6 weeks after the completion of chemotherapy.
Premenopausal patients with estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PR) positive disease receive oral tamoxifen once daily for 5 years beginning at the time of radiotherapy or within 6 weeks after the completion of chemotherapy. Postmenopausal patients with ER and/or PR positive disease receive an aromatase inhibitor (e.g., anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane) or tamoxifen followed by an aromatase inhibitor once daily for up to 10 years.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for up to 3 years from study entry.
ACCRUAL: A total of 226 patients (104 on arm A and 122 on arm B) were accrued for this study.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Patients must have completed definitive breast surgery including total mastectomy and axillary dissection (modified radical mastectomy), total mastectomy and sentinel node biopsy, lumpectomy and axillary dissection, or lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy; NOTE: axillary dissection is strongly encouraged in patients with lymph node involvement identified on sentinel node biopsy
* Margins of lumpectomy or mastectomy must be histologically free of invasive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS); patients with resection margins positive for lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) are eligible
* (ARM A ONLY) Interval between last surgery for breast cancer (lumpectomy, mastectomy, sentinel node biopsy, axillary dissection or re-excision of lumpectomy margins) and D1 must be \> 28 days and =\< 84 days
* ECOG performance status of 0-2
* Absolute neutrophil count \>= 1000/mm\^3
* Platelet count \>= 100,000/mm\^3
* Total bilirubin =\< 1.5 mg/dL
* AST =\< 2 upper limit of normal
* Serum creatinine =\< 1.5 mg/dL
* Urine protein: creatinine ratio \< 1.0
* PT INR =\< 1.5
* PTT =\< 1.5 x normal
* LVEF \>= institutional limits of normal by MUGA or ECHO
* Prior to registration the investigator must specify if radiation is planned; patients who have undergone a lumpectomy must receive radiation; post-mastectomy radiation is at the investigator's discretion
* Patients with HER2+ (3+ by IHC or FISH+) breast cancer are not eligible and should be treated with a trastuzumab-based adjuvant therapy
* Patients with synchronous bilateral breast cancer (diagnosed within one month) are eligible if the higher TMN stage tumor meets the eligibility criteria for this trial
* Patients must not have clinical evidence of inflammatory disease or fixed axillary nodes (N2) at diagnosis
* Patients must not have received prior cytotoxic chemotherapy, hormonal therapy or radiation for this breast cancer; prior treatment with an anthracycline, anthracenedione or taxane for any condition is not allowed; NOTE: prior use of tamoxifen for chemoprevention is allowed but must be discontinued at study entry; similarly prior raloxifene use is allowed but must be discontinued at study entry

* Patients must not have uncontrolled or clinical significant arrhythmia
* Women must not be pregnant or breast-feeding due to the potential harmful effects of bevacizumab on the developing fetus; all females of childbearing potential must have a blood test or urine study within 2 weeks prior to registration to rule out pregnancy
