Neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NCT) has become the standard treatment for breast cancer. The information about the tumor's sensitivity to chemotherapy and prognostic significance based on response to therapy can be provided after individualized neoadjuvant treatment The biomarkers are key factors in the decision-making process regarding treatment as well as important prognostic indicators. Studies have shown that patients who achieve pathological complete response(pCR) after NCT have a better prognosis. For patients who do not achieve pCR, the pathological characteristics of the residual tumor can make an effect on the survival. Furthermore, the immunohistochemical (IHC) markers of the residual diseases after primary systemic therapy might be different from the primary tumor. Estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and Ki67 can usually change after NCT, while human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2) seems to be more stable. The relationship between changes in breast cancer molecular biomarkers and the prognosis after neoadjuvant therapy is not yet clear. The article will make a review about it.
