Abstract:
A relationship between the dynamics of growth and pathological response of tumor cells and the number of neoadjuvant chemotherapy courses was established. As a result, there was no correlation between increase in overall and disease-free survival, on the one hand, and stage, on the other. An interval between neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery longer than 4 weeks had a negative effect on overall tumor response and duration of disease-free period.
