Abstract
This prospective clinical trial was designed to assess the impact of adjuvant chemotherapy in women with rapidly proliferating node-negative breast cancer. This group has been predicted to have a 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) of 70% without adjuvant chemotherapy. In this study, 449 women with rapidly proliferating breast cancer (91% measured by S-phase fraction and 9% by histochemistry) received adjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide (AC) plus tamoxifen for estrogen receptor-positive or progesterone receptor-positive cancer. The 5-year DFS was 90%
