Abstract P6-12-03: Predictors of poor clinical outcome among patients with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) who did and did not achieve pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy
Abstract:BACKGROUND: Pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy (NST) is strongly associated with improved long-term clinical outcomes, even among the patients with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). In this study, we examined the clinical factors determining long-term outcome in patients with IBC who did and did not achieve pCR.
METHODS: We identified patients with primary IBC treated with NST who received definitive surgery within 1 year and were evaluable for pathologi… Show more
