Multi-center, non randomised, open label, non controlled pilot study. Evaluating the treatment of bevacizumab in association with pre-operative chemotherapy, followed by surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy in Patients with inflammatory breast cancer.

Pilot study evaluating the safety and efficacy of adding Bevacizumab to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients presenting non metastatic inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). Patients will receive 4 cycles of chemotherapy FEC100 associating Fluorouracil (500 mg/m2), Epirubicin (100 mg/m2), Cyclophosphamide (500 mg/m2) and Bevacizumab 15 mg/kg every at day 1 of ecah 21 days cycle for 4 cycles. Six weeks after the end of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, patients will undergo mastectomy and 4 cycles of Docetaxel (100 mg/m2)as adjuvant chemotherapy +/-Trastuzumab 8 mg/kg for the first cycle then 6mg/kg every 3 weeks for 17 cycles if tumor overexpress Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2).

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and the efficacy, i.e. pathologic complete response (pCR) after 4 cycles of FEC100+Bevacizumab in IBC
