Detailed Description
In patients with operable breast cancer (BC) receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), the pathological response rate was found to be related to body composition. The success of complete pathologic response (pCR) is a known prognostic factor in BC patients treated with NAC. The investigators aimed to accurately measure muscle mass and predict pCR to NAC and its effect on clinical outcomes.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Pathologic complete response (pCR) Patient with complete pathological response |
Other: Neoadjuvant therapy
To measure muscle mass and predict pCR to NAC and its effect on clinical outcomes.
|
Pathologic incomplete response (non-pCR) Patient with partial pathological response |
Other: Neoadjuvant therapy
To measure muscle mass and predict pCR to NAC and its effect on clinical outcomes.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Sarcopenic index [Through study completion, an average of 1 year.]
skeletal muscle area (cm2)/height (m2) et L3 level
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Body mass index [Through study completion, an average of 1 year.]
weight (kg)/height (m2)
Other Outcome Measures
- Residual cancer burden [Through study completion, an average of 1 year.]
Residual cancer burden (RCB) is estimated from routine pathologic sections of the primary breast tumor site and the regional lymph nodes after the completion of neoadjuvant therapy.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Early and locally advanced operated breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who did not receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy, had metastatic breast cancer and whose radiological images were not available.
