Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Ability to provided informed consent or a legally authorized representative is able to consent on behalf of the patient
  • Willing to answer questionnaires as part of their participation
  • Age: \>= 65 years by the time of study registration

  • Estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor immunohistochemistry (IHC) status must be known; any estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone receptor (PR) status is eligible

Prior diagnoses of breast cancers (including ductal carcinoma in situ \[DCIS\]) are allowed, provided that the treating provider feels that the current cancer most likely represents a new primary breast cancer and not recurrent disease
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to cyclophosphamide and/or docetaxel
  • Past treatment with the regimen TC for prior breast cancer
