OBJECTIVES: * Determine the feasibility of concurrent paclitaxel and breast radiotherapy in women with stage II or III breast cancer who have had primary breast conserving surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. * Assess the cosmetic results of breast conservation after this treatment in these patients. * Determine the pulmonary toxicity of this regimen in these patients. OUTLINE: Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours every 21 days for 4 courses beginning 3 weeks after completion of the last doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide adjuvant regimen. Patients also undergo concurrent radiotherapy 5 days a week for approximately 6-7 weeks. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed at 1 month, every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for the next 5 years, and then annually thereafter. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 40 patients will be accrued for this study over 12-18 months.
