Key clinical point: The hormone receptor (HR)-negative/ human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive subtype was associated with the highest axillary pathologic complete response (pCR) rate and luminal A subtype was associated with the lowest axillary pCR rate.
Major finding: The axillary pCR rates were 60% for HR-negative/HER2-positive, 59% for HER2-positive, 48% for triple-negative, 45% for HR-positive/HER2-positive, 35% for luminal B, 18% for HR-positive/HER2-negative, and 13% for luminal A breast cancer subtypes.
Study details: A meta-analysis of 33 studies including 57,531 patients with breast cancer who received neoadjuvant systemic therapy.
Disclosures: The study was supported by a grant from the Dutch Cancer Society and Alpe d’Huzes Foundation. The authors received grants and personal fees outside this work.
