Abstract
Opinion statement: This perspective underscores the evolution and significance of neoadjuvant therapy in breast cancer, tracing its history and efficacy in improving outcomes. It delves into the correlation between achieving complete response and long-term survival, emphasizing the predictive value of treatment response estimation. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy in HER2-positive early breast cancer, particularly with taxanes and anti-HER2 therapies, emerges as a cornerstone, offering enhanced breast conservation rates and prognostic insights. The focus on individualized care, tailored to treatment response, underscores the need for adaptive strategies. Additionally, the article discusses the ongoing debate surrounding anthracyclines' role and the benefits of dual HER2 blockade. Ultimately, advocating for a personalized approach, guided by treatment response assessment, ensures optimal outcomes in HER2-positive breast cancer management.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published treatment option advances in the field of oncology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to facilitate worldwide approaches to cancer treatment.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as endocrine tumors, lymphomas, neuro-oncology, and cancers of the breast, head and neck, lung, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and genitourinary region. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known oncologists, and an international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
