Abstract

Introduction: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is used with increasing frequency in breast cancers. Various clinicopathological parameters predict treatment response (TR). Tumor budding (TB), which is a prognostic parameter in many cancers, can be considered the first stage of the metastatic process. In our study, the relationship between TR and clinicopathological parameters and TB in core biopsy samples of patients before NAC was investigated.
