Nab-paclitaxel Compared With Docetaxel in the Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Breast Cancer

Comparison of docetaxel and Nab-paclitaxel in neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer

1. To analyze and compare the efficacy and safety of epirubicin + cyclophosphamide (EC) followed by docetaxel and EC followed by nab-paclitaxel in neoadjuvant chemotherapy of breast cancer; 2. To analyze and compare the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel combined with epirubicin + cyclophosphamide (EC) chemotherapy regimen in neoadjuvant therapy of breast cancer, so as to provide a new treatment option for patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-negative breast cancer.
