A previous randomized phase II study showed that neoadjuvant nab-paclitaxel (nab-PTX) 100 mg/m 2 ) was effective and well-tolerated in patients with HER2-negative early-stage breast cancer, compared with docetaxel (DTX). We evaluated patient outcomes in terms of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B), as a measure of health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
