Description:
While use of chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting has increased in TNBC and in HER2+ breast cancer, controversy remains over the optimal approach (neoadjuvant chemotherapy versus upfront surgery) for patients with small tumors (<2cm) that are triple negative or HER2 positive. This session will discuss the pros and cons of neoadjuvant chemotherapy versus upfront surgery in patients with small TNBC or HER2+ breast cancer.
