Case Report: Comparison different response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy of the breast with cell-in-cell-report of two cases - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41641261/

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is commonly applied in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer to reduce tumor size and increase the likelihood of breast-conserving surgery. However, predictive markers...

Two HER2-positive breast cancer cases showed contrasting responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy; changes in cell-in-cell structures correlated with treatment response, suggesting CIC dynamics may serve as potential predictive markers.
