Inclusion criteria: Inclusion Criteria: 1. Histologically confirmed, AJCC stage II or III breast cancer 2. High risk of breast cancer recurrence, defined as documented evidence of one or more of the following criteria: a. Biopsy evidence of breast cancer in regional LN (node positive disease) Nodal micro metastases only are not considered node positive b. Tumor size > 5 cm (T3) or locally advanced disease (T4) 3. Documented pathological evaluation of the breast cancer for hormone receptor (ER and PR) status and HER-2 status 4.
