Biomarker dynamics affecting neoadjuvant therapy response and outcome of HER2-positive breast cancer subtype
In this study, we evaluated the predictive and prognostic role of HER2 protein/gene expression levels in combination with clinicopathologic features in patients who received neoadjuvant trastuzumab-based chemotherapy. The tumor pathologic complete response (pCR) rate was 40.9%, and the mortality rate was lower than in subjects with a lower response. [...]
