Surgical treatment of breast carcinoma after neoadjuvant therapy

With the development of new NT procedures a significant rise in pCR has occurred, predominantly in HER 2+ and triple negative subtypes, thus leading to a decreased incidence of LRR. The number of breast-conserving surgeries with sentinel lymph node biopsy is rising. In a select group of patients breast-conserving surgery is safe and is associated with a low number of LRR events.
