Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Epirubicin is a common chemotherapy medication used in the treatment of breast cancer. However, chemotherapy dosing is calculated based on people's height and weight, which may not be the most accurate way. The purpose of this study is to see if epirubicin dosing based on people's genetic profiles is better than the usual methods.
