BRCA mutation status is associated with higher pCR rates and post-NAC TILs in patients with luminal BC. BRCA-carriers with luminal BCs may represent a subset of patients deriving higher benefit from NAC. Second line therapies, including immunotherapy after NAC, could be of interest in non-responders to NAC.
