Overview

This neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen is being evaluated by the University of Wisconsin, Madison, for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The regimen consists of a sequential approach: patients first receive low-dose weekly carboplatin and paclitaxel, followed by dose-dense doxorubicin (Adriamycin) and cyclophosphamide (AC). Paclitaxel is a taxane that stabilizes microtubules to inhibit cell division, while carboplatin is a platinum-based agent that causes DNA cross-linking. Doxorubicin acts as an anthracycline that intercalates DNA and inhibits topoisomerase II, and cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent. This combination is designed to maximize pathologic complete response (pCR) rates in patients with hormone receptor-negative and HER2-negative breast cancer before surgical intervention.
