Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the outcomes of a new treatment approach (reverse sequence of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, radiation, mastectomy, and reconstruction) for locally advanced breast cancer compared to the standard treatment sequence.
- In a retrospective analysis of 222 female patients under 65, results showed no significant differences in overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) between the two methods, with 5-year OS rates of 88.4% for the reverse sequence and 81.5% for the standard.
- Patients in the reverse sequence group experienced shorter overall treatment times, and complication rates were similar between groups, suggesting that this alternative can be safely considered for certain patients.
