Abstract:Purpose
Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) can predict complete pathological response (pCR) of tumor in the breast but not so well-defined in the axilla after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Since axillary surgery is being increasingly de-escalated after NACT, we aimed to investigate the relationship between TILs and pCR in the axilla and breast, as well as survival amongst NACT patients.
Methods
Clinicopathological data on patients who underwent NACT between… Show more
