“…Several other studies have shown a similar overall objective response of the primary tumor in patients with locally advanced breast cancer ranging from 71 to 87 %. 7,8,9 On the other hand, the present results are much higher than that reported by Yadav et al who found that only 23 % showed response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. 10 Another study by Tamer et al in 2010 also showed much lesser overall response rates to neoadjuvant chemotherapy 54.5 %(CR 3% and PR 51.5%) and Kim et al also reported that the overall response rate to neoadjuvant chemotherapy is 60 %(CR 4 % and PR 56%) respectively.…”

“…The overall response to NACT in this study was 90% (Partial = 77% and complete = 13%). Several other studies proclaimed that NACT response to LABC is ranging from 71% to 87% [20]. Interestingly, our results were the highest from this point of view.…”

“…The idea of neoadjuvant chemotherapy has been recently applied to breast cancer treatment and studies have shown the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in down-staging the primary tumor (1). The use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy thus allows breast conservation surgery to be performed instead of mastectomy.…”
