Abstract

Locally advanced breast carcinoma (LABC) is a frequent condition in Brazil and in developing countries. Neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) has allowed for surgical de-escalation of the breast and/or axilla, leading to increasing the rates of breast-conserving-surgery, skin/nipple preservative mastectomies and axillary preservation. There are no established quality indicators for LABC or NST. This article aimed to review the topic, highlighting Brazilian studies, identifying thirty potential quality indicators for surgical treatment.
