It has been hypothesized that tumors with high interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) and/or hypoxia respond poorly to chemotherapy (CT) because of poor drug delivery. Preclinical studies have shown that paclitaxel reduces the IFP and improves the oxygenation (pO(2)) of tumors. Our aim is to evaluate the IFP and pO(2) before and after neoadjuvant CT using sequential paclitaxel and doxorubicin in patients with breast cancer tumors of >/= 3 cm.
