All eligible patients were randomly assigned at a 1:1 ratio to the experimental arm (docetaxel (75 mg/m2 administered intravenously every 3 weeks) plus carboplatin (AUC 6 mg/mL per min, intravenously every 3 weeks) for six cycles) or the standard treatment arm (epirubicin (90 mg/m2) plus cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m2), both administered intravenously every 3 weeks for four cycles, followed by docetaxel (100 mg/m2) administered intravenously every 3 weeks for four cycles).
