    Abstract:
    Adjuvant therapy has shown to be of significant benefit in patients with breast cancer. Among the possibilities to further improve the results, preoperative chemotherapy is a promising tool. So far, we have treated 178 patients and found that downstaging permits breast conservation in 60% of patients who would otherwise undergo mastectomy. The significance of this method for further improvement of survival has to await results of ongoing trials.
