Relationship Between Breast and Axillary Pathologic Complete Response in Women Receiving Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer.
David Wai LimBrittany D GreeneNicole J Look HongPublished in: Annals of surgical oncology (2021)
Breast pCR is a strong predictor of axillary pCR in women with HER2-positive and triple-negative breast cancers. Conversely, axillary pCR is a modest predictor of breast pCR for these subtypes. There is a poor relationship between breast and axillary pCR in women with hormone receptor-positive disease. These data may inform future de-escalation of surgery in women with HER2-positive and triple-negative disease.
