Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving trastuzumab together with docetaxel and carboplatin may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving trastuzumab together with docetaxel and carboplatin works in treating women with stage II, stage III, or inflammatory breast cancer.

Study Arms (1)

Docetaxel, Carboplatin and Trastuzumab

EXPERIMENTAL

A total of six cycles of TCH \[(Taxotere® (75 mg/m2) + Carboplatin (AUC = 6) + Herceptin® (2 mg/kg weekly after a 4 mg/kg load on Day 1)\] will be administered every 3 weeks.Three weeks after receiving the sixth cycle of TCH, all patients will be restaged. * Those determined to have localized and operable disease (as determined by surgical consultation) will undergo a modified radical mastectomy or lumpectomy and axillary node dissection. After recovery from surgery, the patients will receive whole breast or chest wall irradiation (as determined by radiologist) with concurrent Herceptin® (6 mg/kg). Following radiation, patients will continue Herceptin® (6 mg/kg) every 3 weeks until they have been on study for a total of 52 weeks. * If patients are staged and are negative they will continue Herceptin® (6 mg/kg)every 3 weeks until they have been on study for a total of 52 weeks.
