We checked with several onocologists and they all said that TCH is preferred over TH for most patients. They said the study above used a higher dose of "T" in the TH group and a lower dose of "T" in the TCH group and that most clinicians believe that accounts for why the TCH and TH groups did similarly. They said it's best to use the "C" and the lower dose of "T" to keep side effects at bay and still get the same effectiveness. I don't know if all of that is correct but that's what they said.
