Measure
Sequential Epirubicin/Vinorelbine
For patients with stage IIB (T3N0), IIIA, or IIIB breast cancer, epirubicin and vinorelbine will be administered for up to 5 cycles. For patients with stage IV breast cancer, epirubicin and vinorelbine will be administered as long as there is evidence of continued response or stable disease and no evidence of cardiac or other serious toxicities. epirubicin : Epirubicin (100 mg/m2) will be given on Day 1 vinorelbine : Vinorelbine (18.75 mg/m2) will be given on Days 3 and 17. Beginning on cycle 1, patients will receive G-CSF (Neupogen) at a dose of 5 mcg/kg on Day 4 of treatment for 10 days OR pegfilgrastim (Neulasta) 6 mg on Day 4 of treatment.
