Successful Breast Conservation After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Lobular Breast Cancer: The Role of Menopausal Status in Response to Treatment

CONCLUSION: NAC was not associated with successful BCS in either premenopausal or postmenopausal patients with ILC. Although premenopausal patients were more likely to receive NAC, these data suggest that menopausal status may not be a good predictor of response to chemotherapy. Better predictors of response and more efficacious treatment for patients with ILC are needed.PMID:37561345 | DOI:10.1245/s10434-023-14075-1
