The effect of omission of adjuvant radiotherapy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and breast conserving surgery with a pathologic complete response.

CONCLUSION: Women ≥70, of Hispanic origin, living ≥20 miles from treatment facility, and grade 1 disease were more likely to omit RT. HER2+ patients had favorable OS, while older age and N3 disease were negative prognostic factors. Omitting RT after a pCR to NAC and BCS was not found to affect OS.
