Abstract
- Pathological complete response (pCR) is often achieved by neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), particularly in hormone receptor-negative breast cancer. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) is the most reliable imaging modality to evaluate the pathological effect of NAC. Ultrasonography is indispensable to collect representative specimens from the target lesion by core needle biopsy (CNB). This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of predicting pCR by adding CNB after NAC, in cases with complete clinical response (cCR) diagnosed by cMRI.
