Conversion rate from mastectomy to breast conservation after neoadjuvant dual target therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer in the Asian population.

CONCLUSION: The conversion rate from mastectomy to BCT-eligible was more than 50% after dual target therapy, which was slightly higher than single target agent. However the actual BCT rate was not significantly increased, and more than half of the BCT-eligible patients opted for mastectomy.
