      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Twenty four hours after each cycle of chemotherapy, injections of filgrastim (0.5 mIU/kg/day until post nadir ANC recovery)or Pegfilgrastim (6 mg, single dose)will be done. Protocol of chemotherapy drugs On the first day of each cycle: On the first day of each cycle associated to AC regimen, patients receive an IV bolus of Doxorubicin (60 mg/m2 IV) in 20 min and then Cyclophosphamide (600mg/m2) in 30 minutes. AC regimen is repeated every 14 days for 4 cycles and then followed by Paclitaxel regimen. Patients receive a three-hour Paclitaxel (175 mg/m2 IV) every 14 days for 4 cycles. There is no indication for G-CSF support in cycles 5 to 8 due to lower toxicity of Paclitaxel. Intervention 2: Control group: Twenty four hours after each cycle of chemotherapy, injections of Neopogen (0.5 mIU/kg/day until post nadir ANC recovery)will be done. Protocol of chemotherapy drugs On the first day of each cycle: On the first day of each cycle associated to AC regimen, patients receive an IV bolus of Doxorubicin (60 mg/m2 IV) in 20 min and then Cyclophosphamide (600mg/m2) in 30 minutes. AC regimen is repeated every 14 days for 4 cycles and then followed by Paclitaxel regimen. Patients receive a three-hour Paclitaxel (175 mg/m2 IV) every 14 days for 4 cycles.
