At the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2023 Congress in Madrid, Spain, Dr. Henry Kuerer presented results from a study looking at whether some women diagnosed with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer or early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer could skip surgery if they had a pathologic complete response to chemotherapy before surgery.
Listen to the podcast to hear Dr. Kuerer explain:
- what a pathologic complete response is
- why no women diagnosed with hormone receptor-positive disease were in the study
- the results of the study
