Clinical and radiological evaluation the effectiveness of preoperative systemic therapy in different biological subtypes of breast cancer stages T1-3N0-1M0

Abstract

The aim. To study the clinical and radiological evaluation of the effectiveness of preoperative systemic therapy and to compare the results of macroscopic and microscopic evaluation of response in different biological subtypes of breast cancer (BC). Materials and methods. The study included 213 women with breast cancer stages T1-3N0-1M0, treated by preoperative systemic therapy and radical surgery with morphological evaluation of the response in the N.N.Blokhin National Research Oncology Center from 2004 to 2017. All patients had clinical and radiological examination (mammography and ultrasound) before and after neoadjuvant systemic therapy. The rate of morphological response was assessed in different biological subtypes and the rate of pCR was compared with the clinical, radiologic and macroscopic morphological data, statistical analyses was made by SPSS 20.0, the differences were considered reliable at p
