Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of paclitaxel and capecitabine in treating women who have metastatic breast cancer.

Conditions

Breast Cancer

Keywords

stage IV breast cancer; recurrent breast cancer

Interventions

capecitabine DRUG

paclitaxel DRUG
