Dose dense versus 3 weekly AC during neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy for triple negative breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: Neoadjuvant pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy (P + CT) has emerged as a standard of care for stage II-III triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, the best anthracycline-cyclophosphamide (AC) schedule remains to be determined. While the KEYNOTE-522 regimen employs AC every 3 weeks (q3w AC), previous studies have shown overall survival benefits of dose-dense regimens for early-stage breast cancer. The Neo-Real study (GBECAM-0123) is a real-world data effort evaluating patients with TNBC treated with neoadjuvant P + CT in ten cancer centers since July 2020. The objective of this analysis was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of dose-dense AC (ddAC) versus q3w AC. Among 333 patients included until November 2023, 311 completed neoadjuvant therapy and 279 underwent surgery with patho
