CALGB/Alliance 40603: Summary Achievement of pCR with weekly paclitaxel followed by ddAC +/- carboplatin and/or bevacizumab is associated with significant improvements in EFS and OS Addition of RCB I patients does not diminish the prognostic significance associated with pCR Breast/Axilla –Substantial reductions are seen in both LRR and DR –Inferior outcomes are seen in clinical stage III disease with failure to achieve a pCR and in clinically node-positive patients with persistently positive axillary LNs after NACT Results are consistent with the FDA-requested meta-analysis CALGB/Alliance 40603: Conclusions San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, December 8-12, 2015 This presentation is the intellectual property of the authors.
