Patient-Related Characteristics Associated with Treatment Modifications and Suboptimal Relative Dose Intensity of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients with Breast Cancer—A Retrospective Study
Abstract:Background: Reduced relative dose intensity (RDI) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in patients with breast cancer may compromise treatment outcome and survival. We examined patient-related characteristics associated with treatment modifications and suboptimal RDI and tumour response in patients with breast cancer. Methods: In this observational study, electronic medical records were reviewed retrospectively for female patients with breast cancer scheduled for NACT at a university hospital in Denmark between … Show more
