3) Incidence rate of febrile neutropenia
4) Incidence rates of adverse events according to CTCAE v.4.0-JCOG of grade 1 or higher, grade 2 or higher
5) EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-BR23 scores
6) Adherence to protocol (AHCC/placebo)
7) Completion rate of 4 courses of adjuvant chemotherapy and the proportion of completion without delay or dose reduction
