A Prospective, Single-Arm Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Zoladex 3.6mg Combined With CEF Chemotherapy as Neo-Adjuvant Therapy in Hormone Responsive, Premenopausal, Operable Breast Cancer


It has been found that many breast cancers are hormone dependent and that hormonal therapy
by estrogen suppression such as ovarian ablation, tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitor has
proven beneficial in both adjuvant and neoadjuvant settings. Zoladex, a kind of luitinizing
hormone releasing hormone analogue, can offer efficient estrogen suppression as well. It can
induce reversible amenorrhea and the clinical effect is similar to ovarian ablation. Some
studies have demonstrated the efficacy of zoladex in treating pre and perimenopausal
hormone dependent breast cancer in both adjuvant and metastatic settings. Few data is
available on Zoladex in neoadjuvant treatment for breast cancer In our departments,
neoadjuvant CEF regimen is of general practice, and a preliminary study is designed to
investigate whether adding Zoladex into neoadjuvant CEF could further improve results in
hormone responsive breast cancer.
