Abstract：Neoadjuvant chemotherapy provides clinical outcomes equivalent to those achieved from adjuvant setting. The therapeutic response to neoadjuvant treatment may include a reduction in tumor burden that alleviates the morbidity associated with locoregional therapy. Important prognostic information can be gained based on the response to treatment and knowing the quantity and biology of the residual disease. Landmark trials and contemporary perspectives on neoadjuvant treatment regimens are the issues that surgeons should grasped and pay attention to. The standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy could improve the survival of patients with breast cancer.
