Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Combining paclitaxel with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE This trial is to study the effectiveness of concurrent administration of chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating women who have stage II or stage III breast cancer by examining the complications and cosmetic effects
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the feasibility of concurrent paclitaxel and breast radiotherapy in women with stage II or III breast cancer who have had primary breast conserving surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy
Assess the cosmetic results of breast conservation after this treatment in these patients
Determine the pulmonary toxicity of this regimen in these patients

OUTLINE Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours every 21 days for 4 courses beginning 3 weeks after completion of the last doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide adjuvant regimen Patients also undergo concurrent radiotherapy 5 days a week for approximately 6-7 weeks Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Patients are followed at 1 month every 3 months for 1 year every 6 months for the next 5 years and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 40 patients will be accrued for this study over 12-18 months
