In the SWOG 0012 trial [13], patients with IBC (N=116) or LABC (N=256) were randomly assigned to 21-day doxorubicin-cyclophosphamide (AC) regimen administered for five cycles (standard arm) versus weekly doxorubicin and daily oral cyclophosphamide administered with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor support for 15 weeks (continuous arm). This evidence concerns the gene CSF3 and inflammatory breast carcinoma.
