Brief Title: Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Locally Advanced Breast Cancer
Official Title: Gene Expression Signature and Immunohistochemical Markers Associated With Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Locally Advanced Breast Cancer
Study ID: NCT00820690
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to analyze gene expression signature and immunohistochemical markers associated with clinical and pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced breast cancer.
Detailed Description: Locally advanced breast cancer is a common condition in development countries. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy gives the opportunity to identify genetic signatures associated with objective clinical and pathological complete responses. Patients will receive doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide with paclitaxel. Tumor samples collected before and after chemotherapy will be analyzed.
