Study Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and carboplatin, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. It is not yet known whether docetaxel and carboplatin are more effective with or without trastuzumab in treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well giving docetaxel together with carboplatin and trastuzumab before surgery works compared to docetaxel and carboplatin alone before surgery in treating women with locally advanced breast cancer.

Primary Outcome

Objective response rate of patients treated with Taxotere/carboplatin with or without Herceptin preoperatively. Objective response equals the combination of complete response (CR), partial response (PR) and marginal response (MR). Tumor size was assessed by (1) physical examination, (2) mammography and (3) MRI. 5 response groups: complete response (CR), partial response (PR), marginal response (MR), stable disease (SD) \& disease progression (DP). Pathologic response assigned into 2 groups: pCR
