Induction Systemic Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer

2011
Induction chemotherapy, also known as primary or neoadjuvant chemotherapy, for breast cancer is indicated in locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) and patients with stage II-III disease, in order to downstage the tumour burden and ensure low risk of appropriate breast conservation. Induction treatment also makes it possible to evaluate drug sensitivity.
