| Objective: | The National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) has a long history of conducting clinical trials evaluating pre-operative or primary chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with operable breast cancer. The proposed trial represents the next logical step in the evolution of this treatment approach and builds on the results of clinical trials and correlative science studies performed by the NSABP as well as by other investigators. | ||
