Summary

This study tested two different chemotherapy combinations in 2000 women with breast cancer that had spread to lymph nodes. The goal was to see if adding a drug called fluorouracil and giving treatments every 2 weeks (with a support drug to boost immune recovery) worked better than the standard 3-week schedule. The main focus was on how long women lived without the cancer coming back.
