Chemotherapy With Bevacizumab
Doxorubicin 60 mg /M2 followed by cyclophosphamide 600 mg/M2 (AC) will be given every 2 weeks for cycles 1-4. Paclitaxel 175 mg/M2 followed by gemcitabine 1500 mg/M2 (TG) will be given every 2 weeks for cycles 5-8. Beginning cycle 5, B1= Avastin 10 mg/kg will be given as a single IV dose following each TG treatment every 2 weeks for cycles 5-7. N=Growth factor pegfilgrastim 6 mg will be administered subcutaneously on day 1 after AC and TG treatment every 2 weeks for 8 cycles.
