Comparison of Neo-adjuvant Weekly Paclitaxel With or Without Carboplatin in Early Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine whether neo-adjuvant weekly paclitaxel with carboplatin is better than paclitaxel alone in efficiency and safety in early breast cancer, and to explore whether ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging can predict the efficiency of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy.
