Abstract

Pathologic response serves as a tool to optimize escalation and deescalation of adjuvant treatment. Neoadjuvant carboplatin-taxane combination is a promising chemotherapy deescalation strategy for triple-negative breast cancer. Many key points, such as trial design/patient selection, response biomarkers, role of immunotherapy, and patient advocate input, will have to be carefully considered in order to advance neoadjuvant chemotherapy deescalation investigations.
