More often than not, PMRT is considered especially if high risk features are present, such as LVI, young age, grade III disease, extranodal extension, and close or positive margins. Extent of LVI may also be helpful, although data on this issue are scant. One study indicated that having 2 or more high risk features was associated with substantially increased local-regional recurrence risk in this group of patients [48]. The importance of biologic subtype remains unclear in this setting, and at present, data are lacking with regard to whether certain subtypes, such as triple-negative disease, are indications for PMRT.
These data reflect the importance of the ability to adequately identify and resect residual disease and the importance of radiation therapy (RT), even in the setting of pCR and breast preservation. “Triple negative subtype” (TNS) molecular subtype is measured by immunohistochemical analysis of ER/PR/ and Her-2 (including FISH). Patients with TNS have relatively increased rates of LRR after breast-conserving therapy following adjuvant chemotherapy [7,9–11]. Interestingly, limited date indicate that in the neoadjuvant setting, patients with TNS have higher rates of pCR, although it is unclear whether this translates into a better local–regional control rate [12].
