Abstract

There is considerable heterogeneity in the use of chemotherapy for patients with early breast cancer (BC), despite international recommendations issued from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the St. Gallen biannual conference. This population-based study assessed the patterns of chemotherapy use in early BC.
