| Description: | The correlation between TNM staging and histology variations in a sample of patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy demonstrates a positive impact on both increasing conservative surgery and achieving pCR, resulting in better outcomes in terms of disease-free survival (DFS) and the risk of relapse. Benefits have also been highlighted in terms of cosmetic outcomes, postoperative complications, and psychological benefits. However, the overall outcomes must be evaluated according to the subtype and individual characteristics of the patients. |
