| Abstract | BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of neoadjuvant chemotherapy is evaluated on the basis of pathological responses and survival outcome, because achievement of a pathological complete response (pCR) is a good predictor of long-term survival. However, few studies have assessed the survival of breast cancer patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy including trastuzumab. METHODS: The records of 161 breast cancer patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy between January 2006 and December 2011 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were categorized into 4 subgroups on the basis of the status of the estrogen receptor (ER), the progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). HER2-positive patients received trastuzumab-based regimens. Pathological responses and survival were analyzed on the basis of breast cancer subtypes. RESULTS: The pCR results obtained were: luminal A and B (ER and/or PR-positive, HER2-negative), 6.3 % (5/79 cases); luminal-HER2 hybrid (ER and/or PR-positive, HER2-positive), 25.0 % (5/20 cases); HER2-enriched (ER and PR-negative, HER2-positive), 63.0 % (17/27 cases); and triple-negative (ER and PR-negative, HER2-negative), 25.7 % (9/35 cases). Achievement of pCR was a good predictor of disease-free survival in the HER2-enriched group. Overall survival of patients with pCR was slightly, but not significantly, better in the HER2-enriched and triple-negative subgroups. CONCLUSION: Responses and survival after neoadjuvant chemotherapy including trastuzumab of patients with HER2-positive tumors differed among disease subtypes. Our findings suggest that disease subtype is an important determinant of the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
