Adjuvant and neoadjuvant breast cancer treatments: A systematic review of their effects on mortality

In early invasive breast cancer, neoadjuvant treatments may be recommended before surgery and adjuvant treatments recommended after surgery. These treatments can reduce breast cancer recurrence and mortality, but may increase the risk of death from some other diseases. The evidence on benefits and risks of these treatments is not static but accumulates continuously and is scattered throughout the literature. Therefore, an up-to-date summary is needed for clinical training and to inform treatment decisions in the clinic today.
