Abstract
Among inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) patients, over one-third have HER2-overexpressing (HER2+) tumors. Pathologic complete response (pCR) rates to neoadjuvant targeted and chemotherapy for patients with HER2+ non-metastatic IBC now apporach 60% and favorable long-term survival rates are being reported for those with a pCR. Immune mechanisms contributing to this phenomenon include antibody-mediated immune activation and induction of memory T-cell reponses which may explain the sustained antitumor response seen after discontinuation of targeted therapies.
