Popis: Background: Adoption of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in the “real world” has been poorly investigated. Aim of this study was to examine the rate of NACT in Italy, trends over time and determinants of therapeutic choices. Methods: Senonetwork, the recognized network of Breast Centers in Italy, has developed a voluntary national data warehouse with the aim to monitor and improve treatments quality. A retrospective analysis was conducted among 58,661 breast cancer (BC) patients treated between 2017 and 2022 by 24 high-volume Breast Centers participating in the project. Results: After subset exclusion, 37,215 primary BC patients were analysed, 32,933 underwent primary-breast-surgery and 4,282 underwent NACT.
