Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective following surgery for breast cancer

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide methotrexate and fluorouracil with or without epirubicin in treating women who have early stage breast cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Compare the effects of 4 courses of epirubicin followed by 4 courses of cyclophosphamidemethotrexatefluorouracil CMF versus 8 courses of CMF as adjuvant chemotherapy in women with node positive early breast cancer as measured by overall and event free survival from the date or randomization II Compare the effects of 4 courses of epirubicin followed by 4 courses of CMF with 8 courses of CMF as adjuvant chemotherapy in these patients as measured by acute and chronic toxicities III Compare the effects of 4 courses of epirubicin followed by 4 courses of CMF versus 8 courses of CMF as adjuvant chemotherapy in these patients as measured by quality of life

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are randomized into 2 treatment arms within 4 weeks of surgery Treatment begins within 6 weeks of surgery One treatment arm receives 8 courses of cyclophosphamidemethotrexatefluorouracil CMF given intravenously IV every 3 weeks The other arm receives 4 courses of epirubicin followed by 4 courses of CMF given IV every 3 weeks Patients are followed annually for 10 years

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 1000 patients will be accrued over 3 years
