Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in locally advanced breast tumors may allow an adequate control of the disease impossible with surgery alone. Moreover, NACT increases the chance of breast-conserving surgery. Between 2008 and 2012, we treated with NACT 83 patients with locally advanced breast cancer. We report the preliminary results evaluating the impact of NACT on the type of surgery.

Authors review their outpatient lymph node biopsies in order to verify safety and diagnostic accuracy. They didn't observe any complication and in every case, the procedure provided the correct diagnosis. Lymph node biopsy is the procedure of choice to study the pharmacologic therapy non responsive lymph node pathology that is not surely defined by fine needle aspiration, as almost always in lymphomas.
