2. Taxane arm: 3 cycles Docetaxel (every 3 weeks for 3 cycles) followed by 3 cycles Epirubicin/Docetaxel (every 3 weeks for 3 cycles)

Follow up for both arms is till death
Study entry: single randomisation only
Primary Outcome(s)
Progression free survival, calculated from date of randomisation to the first evidence of progression or recurrence or death, whichever occurs first
Secondary Outcome(s)
1. Distant metastasis free survival, calculated from the date of randomisation to the first evidence of recurrent disease outside radiation field or death, whichever occurs first
2. Survival, calculated from date of randomisation to date of death
3. Clinical and pathological responses, assessed after 3rd cycle and at the end of neoadjuvant chemotherapy according to Response Evaulation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) criteria for tumour progression
4. Toxicity, measured according to Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) scale version 2.0
