Purpose: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) is a standard of care for locally advanced and initially inoperable breast cancer. NCT can test chemotherapy efficacy and can be followed by breast-conserving surgery. Considering taxanes as one of the most effective agents, we analyzed the efficacy of a neoadjuvant schedule without anthracyclines and based only on taxanes and carboplatin, trying to avoid cardiotoxicity, which is the most serious side effect correlated with anthracyclines.
