Paclitaxel Chemotherapy

Participants will receive paclitaxel, a taxane chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of breast cancer. The administration involves an intravenous infusion of paclitaxel at a dosage of 80 mg/m². The treatment is scheduled once a week, continuing for a total duration of 12 weeks. This regimen is part of a (neo-)adjuvant therapy for female patients diagnosed with stage II or III breast cancer. The intervention aims to assess the pharmacokinetics of paclitaxel in relation to patient body composition and physical activity, evaluating its impact on dose-limiting toxicities and overall treatment efficacy.
