Popis: Residual breast cancer after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) predicts disease outcome and is a surrogate for survival in aggressive breast cancer (BC) subtypes. Pathological complete response (pCR) rate, however, is lower for luminal B BC in comparison to the triple negative (TNBC) and HER2+ subtypes. The addition of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) to NACT has the potential to increase pCR rate but is hampered by the lower immunogenicity of luminal B BC. Novel strategies are needed to stimulate the immune response and increase the response rate to ICB in luminal B BC.
