Résumé

This perspective underscores the evolution and significance of neoadjuvant therapy in breast cancer, tracing its history and efficacy in improving outcomes. It delves into the correlation between achieving complete response and long-term survival, emphasizing the predictive value of treatment response estimation. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy in HER2-positive early breast cancer, particularly with taxanes and anti-HER2 therapies, emerges as a cornerstone, offering enhanced breast conservation rates and prognostic insights. The focus on individualized care, tailored to treatment response, underscores the need for adaptive strategies. Additionally, the article discusses the ongoing debate surrounding anthracyclines' role and the benefits of dual HER2 blockade. Ultimately, advocating for a personalized approach, guided by treatment response assessment, ensures optimal outcomes in HER2-positive breast cancer management.
