Excerpt

Currently, the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for breast cancer increases eligibility for breast-conserving surgery (BCS) and decreases need for axillary node dissection. The survival of women undergoing BCS after NAC is equivalent to those undergoing mastectomy.1,2 Clinical trials have reported improved pathologic complete response rates with modern chemotherapy regimens without a corresponding increase in BCS rates.2,3
