Goals of Neoadjuvant Theapy in Breast Cancer To improve surgical outcomes and options For operable breast cancer, the aim is to increase the chance of breast conserving surgery in patients who would otherwise require mastectomy For inoperable locally advanced breast cancers, the aim is to achieve operability To gain information on tumor response To define short-term surrogate markers of response

Breast Conservation Rate

Conclusions Anthracycline-taxane based CT + T achieved a pCR (ypT0/is ypN-/+) rate of 50% in HER2-positive patients, confirming our previous findings (TECHNO, GeparQuattro) CT + L (1250/ 1000 mg) resulted in a significantly lower pCR rate of 35% (Caveat: 10% more discontinuations with L). Compliance of L with EC and Docetaxel was lower than with T. Results should be seen in the context of other studies like Neo-ALTTO, which uses a higher dose of L (1500 mg/d) but a shorter pre- operative treatment duration.

Neoadjuvant therapy in HER2+ operable breast cancer: Key Findings Patient selection is mandatory for the integration of novel agents in cancer treatment Chemotherapy + trastuzumab is the gold standard Double-HER2 blockade increases the pCR rate Endocrine pathway is still important even in presence of HER2 co-expression The preoperative setting is ideal to test new combinations through the “window of opportunity model”
