Patients including of localized breast cancer will require chemotherapy treatment with epirubicin - cyclophosphamide (EC) followed by treatment with docetaxel or paclitaxel. In addition to this chemotherapy, the investigator will prescribe injections of granulocyte growth factors (G-CSF), to stimulate the growth of white blood cells. Patients will be randomized to either a peg-G-CSF arm or a G-CSF arm, prescribed at different times. The aim is to determine whether one of the two treatment regimens best limits the risk of a decrease in white blood cells
