Popis: Highlights i. The results obtained in the AC-DHP cohort, which included Pertuzumab as a NeoT, suggest better clinical outcomes compared to the AC-DH group, a confirmation based on real-world data. ii. Some patient profiles seem to be more promising concerning the overall costs for pathological complete response, but the present data does not include a long-term follow-up period, which suggests that interpretations should be performed with caution. iii. Pertuzumab cost estimated represented a great proportion of overall total costs per patient, but further research (including the costs of the whole episode of care) and continuously monitoring (additional RWE) is needed for a more robust cost-effectiveness analysis.
