This economic analysis aimed to determine, from the perspective of a Canadian provincial government payer, the cost-effectiveness of docetaxel (Taxotere: Sanofi-Aventis, Laval, QC) in combination with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (TAC) compared with 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (FAC) following primary surgery for breast cancer in women with operable, axillary lymph node-positive breast cancer.
