Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells It is not yet known whether high-dose chemotherapy plus peripheral stem cell transplantation is more effective than standard chemotherapy for breast cancer

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of standard chemotherapy with that of high-dose chemotherapy plus peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating women who have advanced breast cancer or inflammatory breast cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Compare the overall survival in locally advanced inflammatory or operable large primary breast cancer greater than 3 cm patients with positive axillary lymph nodes at surgery following primary chemotherapy receiving either conventional chemotherapy or high dose chemotherapy as adjuvant therapy II Compare the relapse-free survival and quality of life in these patients receiving this therapy

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter open label study Patients are stratified by study center and number of positive axillary lymph nodes at surgery Patients are randomized to receive conventional or high dose adjuvant chemotherapy Arm I Patients receive conventional chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide methotrexate and fluorouracil IV administered once every 3 weeks for 8 courses Arm II Patients receive high dose chemotherapy Cyclophosphamide IV is administered on day 1 Patients undergo peripheral blood progenitor cell PBPC collection then receive cyclophosphamide and thiotepa IV for 4 days 13-28 days after PBPC collection Peripheral blood progenitor cells are then reinfused Patients undergo radiotherapy during or after chemotherapy and receive oral tamoxifen for 5 years beginning at the same time as radiotherapy Estrogen receptor negative patients may receive tamoxifen at the discretion of the treating physician Quality of life is assessed before chemotherapy then at 6 12 and 24 months Patients are followed at 12 18 and 24 months then annually for 5 years or until death

PROJECTED ACCRUAL This study will accrue approximately 300 patients
