SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Before each cycle of Panitumumab, nab-paclitaxel and carboplatin (PNC) & fluorouracil, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide (FEC) until 30 days after the last dose of drug, an average of 8 months, unless the participant withdraw consent.

AEs were graded according to the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria (CTCAE), version 3.0. All AEs (\>/=2 non-hematological and \>/=3 hematological AEs) occurring after informed consent signing observed by the investigator or reported by the subject whether or not attributed to investigational product. Full AE reporting can be found in the Adverse Event Section.
