“…9 Despite such serious adverse effects, survival is improved with preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by surgery, compared with surgery alone. [10][11][12] By reducing the tumor burden and downgrading the tumor stage, NAC facilitates surgical resection and may improve long-term outcome by eradicating micrometastases. But NAC may be a double-edged sword.…”

“…W większości badań udawało się w pełni zrealizować zaplanowaną przedoperacyjną chemioterapię, ale jednocześnie wiązała się ona z niewielkim zwiększeniem ryzyka pooperacyjnych powikłań. Zbiorcza analiza 13 badań III fazy opublikowanych do 2010 roku (łącznie 3224 chorych) wykazała, że zastosowanie przedoperacyjnej chemioterapii pozwala uzyskać zmniejszenie względnego ryzyka zgonu o 14% [33].…”
