Abstract

Introduction: The rate of locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) is low in countries with organized population based mammographic screening (5-10%), but it is more than 50% in low-middle income countries. Aim of this study is to find factors affecting disease free and overall survival in patients with LABC after Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NAC).
