A consensus conference regarding the role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with carcinoma of the breast was held in April 2003 in Philadelphia to review the evidence in support of this form of treatment, discuss the issues related to its routine application, and establish more formal guidelines for its use in patients with all stages of breast carcinoma.
