Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pathologic Complete Response26 weeks after the first administration of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide regimens

Pathologic complete response is defined as the disappearance of all invasive cancer in the postsurgical breast and lymph node specimens after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Only residual intraductal carcinoma in the postsurgical breast specimen after neoadjuvant chemotherapy is also considered as the achievement of pathologic complete response.
