Abstract

Background: The response of neoadjuvant chemotherapy  for patients with locally advanced luminal A breast cancer is unclear. Objectives: To determine the efficicacy of NAC and the predictive factors of a better response in patients with locally advanced luminal A breast cancer.  Materials and methods: A case series study of  41 patients with locally advanced luminal A breast cancer who were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy from January 2016 to December 2018 at Ho Chi Minh Oncology Hospital. Results: Clinical overall response rate (ORR) is 90.2%, pathological complete response rate (pCR) is 5.0% . The patients who receive combined anthracycline with taxane regimens tend to achieve a better response. Conclusions:  Neoadjuvant chemotherapy  is  a resonable option for locally advanced luminal A breast cancer since it provides a potential benefit of reduction in tumor extent. The addition of  taxane to an anthracycline-based regimen improves the clinical response rate.
