It is unclear for whom new anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (anti-HER2) agents, such as pertuzumab and T-DM1, should be considered. We investigated prognostic factors before neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) among HER2-positive invasive breast cancer patients and those after NAC among patients who did not achieve pathological complete response (pCR) using conventional adjuvant trastuzumab.
