Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) enhances breast cancer treatment by shrinking tumors and managing micrometastatic disease. This approach offers improved survival and breast conservation possibilities for select patients.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Medical Research

Background:

  • Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is an established treatment for locally advanced breast cancer.
  • NAC is increasingly considered for earlier stages and for patients desiring breast conservation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current status of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
  • To discuss unanswered questions and future directions for NAC.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on neoadjuvant chemotherapy indications, responses, survival, breast conservation, and prognostic factors.
  • Discussion of clinical response, pathologic response, survival benefits, and neoadjuvant endocrine therapy.

Main Results:

  • NAC improves primary tumor control and addresses micrometastatic disease.

  • It offers the potential for breast conservation in patients with large tumors.
  • Combined modality therapy including NAC shows promise for local control and survival in specific patient groups.

    • Conclusions:

    • Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is a valuable strategy for breast cancer management.
    • It provides opportunities for breast conservation and potentially improved survival.
    • NAC facilitates research into molecular mechanisms and personalized treatment strategies.
