Abstract
Patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who have not achieved pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) were considered for adjuvant capecitabine. This study was to explore the utility of the Neo-Bioscore in guiding post-surgical therapy in TNBC. The Neo-Bioscore was calculated for patients with non-metastatic primary breast cancer who received NAC at National Cancer Center Hospital East, Japan. A total of 329 patients were evaluated. The Neo-Bioscore stratified prognosis after NAC better than clinical or pathological stage. The Neo-Bioscore performed well in the selection of patients with TNBC with excellent prognoses despite non-pCR; no death was observed in patients who had a Neo-Bioscore of 2, the lowest score in those with TNBC. The Neo-Bioscore can improve the prognostic stratification of patients after NAC for breast cancer over clinical and pathological staging and may enable the identification of patients with non-pCR TNBC who can avoid additional adjuvant chemotherapy.
