The Rational for Neoadjuvant Therapy
in Breast Cancer: Which Patients?
 Traditionally: Neoadjuvant systemic therapy should be
considered for patients inoperable at onset: T4, clinical N2-N3
 New data: supporting preoperative or neoadjuvant systemic
therapy in primary operable breast cancer patients
 NCCN Guidelines 2011:neoadjuvant chemotherapy or
trastuzumab plus chemotherapy should be considered for
HER2+ patients
Goals of Neoadjuvant Theapy
in Breast Cancer
 Make tumours more operable, increase the rate of breast conserving
surgeries
 Improve prognosis of certain disease subtypes (i.e. HER2+)
 Have a better idea of prognosis based on response to neoadjuvant
treatment
 Allow patients to start treatment earlier
 Reduce the extent of surgery required in breast and axylla
 Improve DFS and OS using pathological response rate for selection
of subsequent treatment in individual patients
Parametres to assessed
in clinical practice
 pCR and Treatment Outcomes
 Status lymph node (sentinel node biopsy)
 Instrumental evaluation with MRI and PET
 Toxicity
Definition of pCR
 Different definition of pCR are in use:
- Absence of invasive cancer in the breast
- Absence of invasive cancer in the breast and in the axillary
lymph nodes.
- Absence of invasive and in situ cancer cells in the breast and
in the axillary nodes
 There is high degree of concordance between the different
definition
 With very definition pCR identifies cases with favorable
disease
Marchiò C. & Sapino A. JNCI Monogr 2011;43:86–90
Putative Predictive Factors
of pCR
 Tumor size & Tumor grade
 Histological type
 ER/PgR
 Her2/neu
 Proliferative markers ( Ki-67/MIB-1, PCNA)
 Treatment & MDR-1/pgp
pCR to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
is correlated with improved DFS & OS
(NSABP B-27)
Disease free-survival
Overall Survival
There was no significant difference in overall survival (OS) between
the treatment arms (data not shown).
Pathologic CR (pCR) was a significant predictor of OS, regardless of treatment.

“ ..if
indicated, the majority of the Panel considered that
the neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen should include
both a taxane and an anthracycline and(for HER2-positive
disease) an anti-HER2 drug.
Thus, the choice of a regimen for adjuvant or neoadjuvant
chemotherapy might be made using similar criteria..’’

SLNB in relation
to neoadjuvant therapy
 Which is the aim of SLNB in breast cancer patients?

Which patients are usually receiving neoadjuvant?

Is there a role of SLNB in patients undergoing neoadjuvant
therapy?
 Should SLNB be performed before or after neoadjuvant therapy?
 Are there sufficient data supporting either approach ?

SLN Biopsy Prior to Therapy
Disadvantages
• Two operations
• Potentially delays start of chemotherapy
Advantages
• Higher identification rate
• Lower false negative rate
St Gallen 2007, Annals of Oncol 18: 1133–1144, 2007
The Role of SNLB
Inflammatory breast cancer not indicated
– breast lymphedema, due to occluded lymphatics by metastatic
cells
inadequate lymphatic drainage
mapping agents would also be trapped and not travel to the SLN
false-negative rate very high
Locally Advanced (large tumor size)
- Palpable lymphadenopathy  FNA –No Role for SNLB
- Non palpable or Clinically negative LNs SLNB is acceptable
- Before or after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy ?

Gianni L. et al Lancet 2010
Cardiac monitoring guidance:
Trastuzumab
• All patients for Herceptin treatment should undergo baseline
cardiac assessment prior to treatment initiation
• For patients with EBC, cardiac assessment should be
performed every 3 months during treatment and at
6, 12 and 24 months following cessation of treatment
• For patients with MBC, cardiac function should be monitored
during treatment (eg every 3 months)
• Patients who develop asymptomatic cardiac dysfunction may
benefit from more frequent monitoring (eg every 6-8 weeks)

Comments and questions
Conclusive comments
• NACT should be considered as an option for every woman
as far as the indication for adjuvant treatment has been
confirmed
• Many good quality clinical trials suggest that trastuzumab
should be incorporated in the preoperative treatment of
women with HER2-pos (..NCCN guidelines).
open questions
• the preferred combination chemotherapy with trastuzumab
• the optimal duration of trastuzumab in pts who achieve a
pCR after preoperative chemotherapy.

 Provides in vivo assessment of anti-tumor effects
 Provides opportunity to assess surrogate biological endpoints
 Early initiation of systemic therapy
 Inhibition of post-surgical growth spurt
 May expedite new drug development

pCR and Treatment Outcome
no
 pCR is a robust measure of therapeutic effects and surrogate a
DFS in responder
 Increase pCR rate should correspond to improved efficacy in
the overall patient population
 Prediction of pCR should predict for benefit and allow for
tailoring treatment to indivudual tumor characteristics
