Background: Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) in patients with large tumors shrunk by neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) remains controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the local recurrence rates in locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) patients receiving NCT comparing BCS with mastectomy. Methods: Pubmed, Web of Knowledge, and Ovid's database were searched for studies concerning treatment for LABC from January 2000 to June 2015. A meta-analysis was performed to compare the recurrence rates of patients receiving BCS versus mastectomy following NCT. Results: 8 trials with a total of 3,215 patients were analyzed. The prevalence of local recurrence was 9.2% in the BCS group versus 8.3% in the mastectomy group without significant difference (odds ratio (OR) 1.07, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.28-1.48; p = 0.66). The 5-year local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) rate was lower in the mastectomy group than in the BCS group, but no significant difference was found between the 2 groups (OR 1.11, 95% CI 0.61-1.99; p = 0.74). Conclusion: BCS after NCT is safe in terms of local recurrence and LRFS in LABC women. Shrinking tumors with NCT provides the opportunity to apply BCS with no detriment to outcome.

Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer was used to downstaging tumours to facilitate breast-conserving surgery. Methods: A descriptive retrospective study of 93 breast cancer patients at Da Nang Oncology Hospital from January 2017 to December 2019. Patients diagnosed with locally advanced breast cancer cT2-4N0- 3M0. Exclude cases of Ductal carcinoma in situ from breast or previously treated. Results: an average age of 48, an average tumor size of 6.0 cm, the majority were Invasive ductal carcinoma (97.8%) and grade 2 ( 85.6%). Hormon receptor positive in 57%, HER-2 positive in 38.7% and 18.3% triple negative Breast cancer. The combination chemotherapy regimen Anthacycline and Taxane accounted for 94.7%, Trastuzumab-based regimen accounted for 25%. There was 8.3% progression of disease during neoadjuvant chemotherapy. About Surgery: Breast- conserving surgery in 20.5%, Breast reconstruction in 6.8%, Mastectomy in 71.6%, Sentinel lymph node biopsy in 4.3%. Her2 status was significantly different between the groups with and without pCR.. Endocrine receptors are negative, Ki67 is high, and Triple negative has a higher rate of pCR but not statistically significant. Conclusion: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy helps to downstaging tumours to facilitate breast-conserving surgery. Her2 status is correlated with the rate of complete pathological response (pCR).

Abstract Background Introducing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) in a breast cancer patient may be associated with changes in estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth hormone receptor 2 (HER2) status. Method In our prospective cohort study, we evaluated the impact of change in estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth hormone receptor 2 (HER2) on the prognosis of breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT). We investigated 110 patients with locally advanced breast cancer for ER, PR and HER2 status of their lesions before and after NCT. Result For hormone receptor status (HR) (which include ER, PR) of the residual tumor of the patients after receiving NCT, 12 (10.9%) of them changed from HR (+) to HR (−) and 15 (13.6%) changed from HR (−) to HR (+). For HER2 status after NCT, 8 (7.3%) patients changed from HER2 (+) to HER2 (−) and 9 (8.2%) patients changed from HER2 (−) to HER2 (+). Triple negative (TN) tumor phenotype changes occurred in 17 (15.5%) patients. Patients for whom the HR status changed from positive to negative had poor prognosis for both disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in univariate survival analysis. Conclusion Changes in ER, PR, HER2 status and tumor phenotype in breast cancer patients after NCT had a negative prognostic impact and were associated with a poor prognosis.
