pubmed-article:9527268 | pubmed:abstractText | Stage IIIA,B breast cancer is commonly treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy because of high objective response rates and improved operability. Criteria for subsequent selection of local therapy--mastectomy, radiotherapy, or both--are not well defined. We adopted a policy of selective local therapy based on rebiopsy of the breast and clinical axillary lymph node status at the time of best response to chemotherapy. | lld:pubmed |
