I've seen a few stray folks here and there who still get either CEF or CAF but they do seem to be pretty rare, and possibly they get it because they have some health condition that prevents them from getting a taxane (?). At the time I was treated I think I was pretty much at the tail end of the use of those regimens before CA and a taxane started being given instead. When I was treated, those who were HR+ got CEF or CAF, and those who were not got CMF (methotrexate instead of either Adriamycin or epirubicin). Taxanes are generally more helpful (as I understand it) for those who are HR-.
