Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To find association between Serum Beta Hydroxy Butyrate levels and development of neutropenia after administration of Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide for breast cancerTimepoint: day 0, day 14 or before second cycle of chemotherapy, last day of chemotherapy of 4 to 6 cycles of chemotherapy.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To estimate a cutoff level of serum Beta hydroxy butyrate levels for development of neutropenia using a ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) Curve, in the presence of an association between them. Exploration of role of serum BHB levels in Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide chemotherapy induced cardiotoxicity.Timepoint: day 0, day 14 or before second cycle of chemotherapy, last day of chemotherapy of 4 to 6 cycles of chemotherapy.
