Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NeoCTX) is standard management for locally advanced breast cancer. Phase III clinical trials reveal equivalent survival and improved breast conservation surgery (BCS) eligibility in Stage II breast cancer patients receiving neoCTX compared to postoperative CTX. Controversy persists regarding optimal integration of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNBx) into neoCTX protocols. We evaluated evolving surgical practice patterns regarding neoCTX, BCS, and SLNBx for Stage II breast cancer.
