Instituto do Câncer Dr. Arnaldo Vieira de Carvalho (ICAVC)To evaluate the impact of adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies concerning overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with breast cancer. A retrospective database analysis from our service in patients with breast cancer treated at our institution (ICAVC) during 08/31/2006 and 01/10/2010 with follow up until 01/12/2016. A total of 106 patients with invasive breast cancer SOE were included in the study, and 32 (30,2%) received neoadjuvant chemotherapy based on anthracycline and taxane. We observed that in the group of patients submitted to neoadjuvant therapy, two (6.2%) died, nine (28%) had distant metastases, and one (3%) had a local recurrence. In patients submitted to the adjuvant regimen, we observed six (8%) of deaths, 12 (16.2%) of distant metastases and four (5.4%) of local recurrences. When we analyzed the Kaplan-Meier curves of our cohort, we notice that patients submitted to neoadjuvant chemotherapy had a global survival slightly larger than adjuvant chemotherapy, but there was no statistical difference between the groups. Both neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy treatment scenarios presented a tendency that suggests an equivalence concerning OS and DFS.breast cancer, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, overall survival
