tumor stage
Item
breast cancer was not locally advanced at diagnosis. this is left to investigator judgement, but generally should exclude patients with fixed tumors, fixed nodes, peau d'orange skin changes, skin ulcerations or inflammatory changes (t4 disease).

no evidence of breast cancer, criteria for bilateral breast cancer
Item
patient is currently free of breast cancer (no evidence of disease). this is also left to investigator judgement, but generally should include no evidence of distant disease on chest x-ray or mgmmogram of the opposite breast prior to registration, within 3 months prior to surgery; and no gross or microscopically positive surgical margins noted in the final surgery or pathology reports. patients with synchronous bilateral breast cancer may be considered, provided both breasts are treated with curative intent and that eligibility is based on the side with the most adverse prognostic features.

time since mastectomy and axillary dissection, breast sparing surgery required, prior (chemo)therapy
Item
registration must be within 84 days of mastectomy, or within 84 days of axillary dissection if the patient's most extensive breast surgery was a breast sparing procedure. patients not having mastectomy or breast sparing surgery are ineligible. patients must not have had prior chemotherapy for this breast cancer. patients must not have had systemic therapy of any type for a previous breast cancer.

prior radiotherapy
Item
patients must not have had external beam radiotherapy for this breast cancer prior to registration. brachytherapy (interstitial radiation therapy) at the time of breast sparing procedure is acceptable and would not render the patient ineligible. (if external beam radiotherapy is planned to be given with brachytherapy, it must be delayed until after chemotherapy is complete.) patients whose most extensive breast surgery was a breast sparing procedure must be planning to receive radiotherapy after chemotherapy is complete.

Item
patients must have adequate hematologic, hepatic, renal and cardiac function for high dose chemotherapy and adequate health for long-term follow-up. this must include normal wbc (2 4,0001pl). neutrophll count (2 1,50o/pl), platelet count (2 institutional lower limit of normal), and lvef (left ventricular ejection fraction by institutional criteria); bilirubin within 1.5 times institutional upper limit of normal; creatinine within 1.5 times institutional upper limit of normal; and no serious disease other than breast cancer.
