Adjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer With 1-3 Aflicted Lymph Nodes
Cyclophosphamid + Farmorubicin® With Subsequent Administration of Taxol® (q3w) Versus Intensified Administration of Farmorubicin® Followed by Taxol® (q2w) in the Adjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer in Patients With 1-3 Afflicted Lymph Nodes (1-3 LK+)

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a treatment with 4 cycles anthracycline + cyclophoshamide followed by administration of 4 cycles paclitaxel is more effective than therapy with 4 cy<cles of anthracycline adminbistration followed by 4 cycles of paclitaxel
